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 (way back slowly).
it's my time to shine,
do it my way
cuz 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 (I made me slowly)
it's my time to shine,
do it my way
cuz 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 well. it's just the way it has to be.
I could never stay the same. never stay the same.
it's always high, always low, and almost never in between.
there is no one left to blame. no one left to blame.
I can't stay, I have to change...
it's my time to shine,
do it my way
cuz it's my time baby

it's my time to burn, my time to shine.

make a choice, shut up shut up.
do it your way, shut up shut up.
