how long was I sleeping? Did you wake me? Didn't feel like all that long.
do I see the morning? No, it can't be happen to me.
I've been stuck in the quicksand, more the pavement colours black and white too long
I could black out completely, but I made me make my way back slowly.

it's my time to shine, do it my way 'cause it's my time, baby
it's my time to burn, start a fire, be the one and only
I said it
I meant it
I never will forget it
change never happens by itself
it's my time to burn, my time to shine.
time to make it for myself.

how long was I buried? Couldn't find me, laid to rest, my heart beats on.
kept track of the symptoms, could've killed me but you will see
I'm not broken, I could be. Yeah, you would be but my heart is much too strong
never thought it was easy, but I made me, I made me slowly.

it's my time to shine, do it my way 'cause it's my time, baby
it's my time to burn, start a fire, be the one and only
I said it
I meant it
I never will forget it
change never happens by itself
it's my time to burn, my time to shine.
time to make it for myself.

don't be sad, I know you will. It's just the way it has to be.
I can never stay the same.
it's always high, or always low, and almost never in between.
there's no one left to blame.
I can't stay.
I have to change.

it's my time to shine, do it my way. It's my time, baby
it's my time to burn, start a fire, be the one and only
I said it
I meant it
I never will forget it
change never happens by itself
it's my time to burn, my time to shine.
time to make it for myself.

make a choice, shine on, shine on.
do it your way, shine on, shine on.
make a choice, shine on, shine on.
do it your way, shine on.
