Madeleine Carroll

Edith Madeleine Carroll (26 February 1906 – 2 October 1987) was an English actress, popular both in Britain and America in the 1930s and 1940s. At the peak of her success in 1938, she was the world's highest-paid actress. Carroll is remembered for her role in Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps (1935). She is also noted for largely abandoning her acting career after the death of her sister Marguerite in the London Blitz to devote herself to helping wounded servicemen and children displaced or maimed by the war. She was awarded both the Legion d'Honneur and the Medal of Freedom for her work with the Red Cross. more »

They say life's not a race, then why do I trail behind?
Traveling at my own pace, the only tortoise in a group of hares
So fast they don't see me there
They say life is too short, but this journey feels so long
To find a place where I belong, standing clueless in my loneliness
This rose can't bloom in darkness

The stars can only shine brightest in the night
Moving slowly and steadily, savoring the sight
They know it will be my time one day
But how long must I wait

They say the stars must align, that only time will tell
But I'm weighed down by a shell instead of lifted by a pair of wings
No bird's eye view of where I begin
They say we're lost until we're found, but even if that's true
The sun must wait behind the clouds to shine her light on who we are
Before the day grows dark

The stars can only shine brightest in the night
Moving slowly and steadily, savoring the sight
They know it will be my time one day
But how long must I wait

The stars can only shine brightest in the night
Moving slowly and steadily, savoring the sight
They know it will be my time one day
But how long must I wait

I know it will be my time one day
And it will be worth the wait
