Waiting (to be Seen)
While I'm here I'm just getting nowhere
I only wanted to be somewhere
While I'm here I'm just wasting my time.
All the time trying to be someone
Getting told that I'm really no-one
While I'm here I'm just wasting my time.
Oh can't you hear me?
I'm longing to be free
All my life I've wanted to be someone
Oh can't you hear me?
I'll drown in misery
While I'm waiting to be seen.
Stuck in a rut that is full of no-ones
Gotta get out, gotta meet the someones
Gotta be more than just one of the crowd
Oh can't you hear me?
I'm longing to be free
All my life I've wanted to be someone
Oh can't you hear me?
I'll drown in misery
While I'm waiting to be seen.
Don't wanna end up like everybody else
Don't wanna be just one more face in the street
There's a place for me, I'm sure it won't be long
I'm just waiting to be seen.
While I'm here I'm just getting nowhere
I only wanted to be somewhere
While I'm here I'm waiting to be seen, oh-oh-oh
While I'm here I'm waiting to be seen...one-two-three-four
While I'm here I'm waiting to be seen, oh-oh-oh
While I'm here I'm waiting to be seen...whooo!
