world premiere cast - wait a bit - just so lyrics
why are those things you admire most in others
the hardest to find in yourself?
what is it about me that seems to determine
i’m destined to life on the shelf?
this ‘wait a bit’ character waiting to find
whatever it is that i lack
whenever they ask the real me to step forward
the real me takes a step back
“wait a bit” she says
“can’t do it” she says
“wait a bit” she says
not really knowing what she’s waiting for
while he’s outgoing why do i withdraw?
without conviction and yet somehow sure
a contradiction that will stay in my mind
the day that i find something more
i’m searching for something they say is within me
yet seems to be hidden from sight
but why should i search when it’s not in my nature
to come out and stand in the light?
for my expectations are not all that great
just one dream i had hoped to fulfill
and yet when it came to the moment of truth
i proved to myself i must still
wait a bit
am i just not fit to fly?
when i came to try
i watched the others as they soared and rose
it seemed so effortless
but then who knows?
beneath the surface sometimes torment grows
i plucked up courage
for i knew i should fledge
so i stood on the edge
and i froze
the flightless bird gets by without the flight
but still i’m hoping that one day i might
he made me feel i could soar
now only one thing seems sure
i’ll have to wait a bit more
