Waitin', waitin', oh I know how it feels to be Just another face in the crowd To feel like a whisper In a world that's much too loud Tryin' to find a place to fit in A dream where you don't understand And where your dreams begin Don't let it pull you down Don't let it turn you around Don't ever forget whose child you are Though others may fail to see The diamond that lies beneath He knows just how priceless you are While you're waiting in the wings Underestimated By everyone that passes you by Lookin' up from the bottom Like a flower that's reachin' for the sky Waitin' for the sun to break through Waitin' for the chance for it To shine down on you Don't let it pull you down Don't let it turn you around Don't ever forget whose child you are Though others may fail to see The diamond that lies beneath He knows just how priceless you are While you're waiting in the wings I see you standin' behind the curtain Listening to everyone's applause But remember the first shall be last And the last shall be first in the eyes of God
