Waiting in the Wings

Waiting in the Wings is a song sung by Cassandra in the Tangled: The Series

Original
Guess we all are born with parts to play Some of us are stars, and some are just in the way I know I was meant for glory But that's never what my story brings And yet I keep on waiting

When you have the passion and the drive You expect your moment centre stage to arrive I show up with heart ablazing Ready to achieve amazing things But I'm left waiting in the wings

I hear my cue And yet I'm kept there waiting Know what to do And still I stand there waiting It's always someone else who sings while I'm left waiting in the wings

And so I keep on keeping on My chances come and then I blink and they're gone Always overlooked unfairly while pretending that it barely stings But it stings, yes, it stings

And I'll shed no tears I'll only keep on waiting If no one cheers, well, I can keep on waiting Who cares how loud the silence rings You'll find me waiting in the wings...

Reprise
Young Cassandra: Guess by now I ought to know my place Do your humble duty with a smile on your face Mother knows how much I love her, but she's always doing other things So I'll keep waiting in the wings

Cassandra: I craved so much And yet I kept on waiting One glance, one touch And I just kept on waiting Both: And when it came, it came with strings Cassandra: So I kept waiting in the wings
