One more update...

Here is an update to the lyrics that match the new versions of the songs, which are available here. Minor changes are highlighted in yellow. You will only be responsible for the first portion of the songs.


WAITING FOR LIFE
A stranger in white, in a car
Going somewhere, going far
How it must feel to go racing wherever you please
Flying as free as a bird with his tail in the breeze
Even the fish in the sea must be longing to fly
Catching a glimpse of a stranger in white racing by

bridge & verse removed

A stranger... racing down the beach
Racing to places... I was meant to reach
My stranger, one day you’ll arrive 
The car will stop and in I’ll hop
And off we’ll drive... we’ll drive!

-----

TI MOUNE
What can I say to stop you now?
Now that you’ve heard your drum and seen your dancers
Now that you think your heart has all the answers

Who knows how high those mountains climb
Who knows how deep those rivers flow
Who knows how wrong a dream can go, Ti Moune

I won’t be there to guide your way
To braid your hair or dry your tears
As we have done these many years, Ti Moune, Ti Moune

What you are, we made you
What we gave, you took
Now you run without one backward look

You’ll find some other boy to save
Some other life that you can share
Your heart is young, new dreams are everywhere
Choose your dreams with care, Ti Moune

-----

RAIN
Let there be no moon, let the clouds race by
Where the road meets the sea, let the tide be high
Let there be a girl walking by the sea
And let there be... rain!

two lines removed

Rain on the road, rain on her face
Rain makes the road such a dangerous place
Let there be a car, racing through the night
Where the road meets the sea, let her wait
Where the road meets the sea, let him spin
Where the road meets the sea, let their fate begin...
In the rain!


These lyrics have been updated in the audition packet, available here.

Apologies for the confusion,
Ms. Neville
