Listen for the sound of pulsing beats
My voice is now the sound of the streets
When rhythm takes control
I'm hoping rhythm shows that I've been growing

Or maybe go unnoticed
Even though you swore if we had justified our wrongs
I'm tired, I'm begging and this is my response

And know that I am more alive than I have ever felt
I only want to make this count

This is my time to shimmer and shine
Under bright lights I'll come alive
Can you see it, the subtle skin so radiant?
I'll be home this winter but I swear never again

Listen for the sound of heartbeats racing
I am hesitant and pacing
My new pulse is pounding blood
Over every line and canvas I can

Touch upon an answer
Theres nothing quick enough to hand in
So hold me close and I will race
Listen for the sights and sounds of sudden change

This is my time to shimmer and shine
Under bright lights I'll come alive
Can you see it, the subtle skin so radiant?
I'll be home this winter but I swear never again

This is for everyone and everything
My hope spills out, my heart gives way
I'm breaking ground, no I can't fake it now

And I am shutting up, I'm closing out
My soul begs for a change right now
This is my cause, this is my life
I'm standing up and taking mine

This is my time to shimmer and shine
Under bright lights I'll come alive
Can you see it, the subtle skin so radiant?
I'll be home this winter but I swear never again

This is for everyone and everything
My hope spills out, my heart gives way
I'm breaking ground, no I can't fake it now

And I am I'm shutting up I'm closing out
My soul begs for a change right now
I'm taking mine, this is my life
