    If she put any more power into this I think she might melt the audience's faces. Her technique is just about flawless, and this song is not easy.

    I love the aggressive late-90s/early-aughts camera cuts, where every change cuts to a camera just peeking out from behind a prop or is just slinking back behind one. You can’t unsee it!

    The part that always gets me is that she makes singing such a hard song look so effortless.
    I've had to sing this song a couple of times and I can say that LaChanze really is on another level!

    [TI MOUNE]
    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
    Oh, gods
    Oh, gods
    Are you there?
    What can I do
    To get you to look down and give in?
    Oh, gods
    Oh, gods
    Hear my prayer
    I’m here in the field
    With my feet on the ground
    And my fate in the air
    Waiting for life to begin!
    [ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE, DANIEL)]
    Oo la, oo la, oo la, oo la
    Oo la, oo la, oo la, oo la

    [ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE, DANIEL)]

    Happy for tea in their cups and no holes in their nets
    [ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE, DANIEL)]
    Oo la, oo la, oo la, ooh

    Happy to have what they have and to stay where they are

    Racing down the beach
    Racing to places
    I was meant to reach!
    My stranger!
    One day you’ll arrive
    Your car will stop
    And in I’ll hop
    And off we’ll drive
    We’ll drive!
    Oh, gods
    Oh, gods
    Please be there
    Don’t you remember your little Ti Moune from the tree?
    Wake up!
    Look down!
    Hear my prayer!
    Don’t single me out
    And then forget me!
    Oh, gods
    Oh, gods
    Let me fly!
    Send me to places where no one before me has been
    You spared my life; show me why
    You get me to rise like a fish to the bait
    Then tell me to wait
    Well, I’m waiting
    Waiting for life to begin!
    Waiting for life to begin!
