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, happened 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
God, I 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, always low, and almost never in between
There is no one left to blame

I can't stay
I have to change

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

Make a change, shine on, shine on
Do it your way, shine on, shine on
Make a change, shine on, shine on
Do it your way, shine on
