It's My Turn - Pete Hazo

I can't cover up my feelings In the name of love Or play it safe For a while that was easy And if living for myself Is what I'm guilty of Go on and sentence me I'll still be free It's my turn To see what I can see I hope you'll understand This time's just for me Because it's my turn With no apologies I've given up the truth To those I've tried to please But now it's my turn If I don't have all the answers At least I know I'll take my share of chances Ain't no use of holding on When nothing stays the same So I'll let it rain 'Cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me And I'll let you go 'Though I know it won't be easy It's my turn With no more room for lies For years I've seen my life Through someone else's eyes And now it's my turn To try and find my way And if I should get lost At least I'll own today It's my turn Yes, it's my turn And there ain't no use in holding on When nothing stays the same So I'll let it rain 'Cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me And I'll let you go 'Though I know it won't be easy It's my turn To see what I can see I hope you'll understand This time's just for me Because it's my turn To turn and say goodbye I sure would like to know That you're still on my side Because it's my turn It's my turn It's my turn To start from number one Trying to undo Some damage that's been done But now it's my turn To reach and touch the sky No one's gonna say At least I didn't try It's my turn Yes, it's my turn It's my turn It's my turn It's my turn

When I was young If I just closed my eyes Then I could go anywhere Dream of any place Imagination set the pace And my heart was happy there What a shame that you came Round and told me Said my dreams can't come true "Don't be foolish Give up your wish Big things aren't for you" And how you'd scold and chide me Forever criticize me But now I think I know the truth You were the one Who held me down and told me I was heading nowhere You said know your place Accept your fate and show good face And be thankful that you're there That was so long ago When you owned me I believed it was true Bend me shape me Build me break me Why was I your fool? And now I'm so much stronger I'm not yours any longer I've got a message here for you Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near Hey wait turn and show your face I've got a lot to say And you're not going anywhere You lose; the time you ruled me's through I'm in control I own my soul And I'll never go back there Wasted years that I spent Never knowing I was kept, I was used Never-ending Condescending Now I just refuse I don't care what it costs me I know I almost lost me Won't spend another day confused You rose I fell Made my life hell Anything to crush my soul Anything to feel control Finally free I've come so far Finally see how sick you are I spent my life degraded But I won't leave here jaded I'll start again and finally prove Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near

I have been patiently waiting in line Watching everyone passing me by And I can't seem to figure out When's it gonna be my turn I'm sick and tired of payin' my dues Play the game till the end then I lose So can somebody tell me When's it gonna be my turn When's it gonna be my turn Yesterday I learn from Tomorrow is uncertain So why can't I just make my turn today I always followed and played by the rules But the prize goes to those who are true Still nobody can answer me When's it gonna be my turn When's it gonna be my turn Yesterday I learn from Tomorrow is uncertain So why can't I just make my turn today Cause yesterday I learned from Tomorrow is uncertain So why can't I just make my turn today When's it gonna be my turn When's it gonna be my turn When's it gonna be my turn When's it gonna be my turn When's it gonna be my turn When's it gonna be my turn Whoaaa... When's it gonna be my turn Whoaaa... When's it gonna be my turn Yesterday I learned from Tomorrow is uncertain So why can't I just make my turn today Cause yesterday I learned from Tomorrow is uncertain So why can't I just make my turn today When's it gonna be my turn When's it gonna be my turn
