Listen for the sound of pulsing beats<br />
My voice is now the sound of the streets<br />
When rhythm takes control<br />
I'm hoping rhythm shows that I've been growing<br />
<br />
Or maybe go unnoticed<br />
Even though you swore if we had justified our wrongs<br />
I'm tired, I'm begging and this is my response<br />
<br />
And know that I am more alive than I have ever felt<br />
I only want to make this count<br />
<br />
This is my time to shimmer and shine<br />
Under bright lights I'll come alive<br />
Can you see it, the subtle skin so radiant?<br />
I'll be home this winter but I swear never again<br />
<br />
Listen for the sound of heartbeats racing<br />
I am hesitant and pacing<br />
My new pulse is pounding blood<br />
Over every line and canvas I can<br />
<br />
Touch upon an answer<br />
Theres nothing quick enough to hand in<br />
So hold me close and I will race<br />
Listen for the sights and sounds of sudden change<br />
<br />
This is my time to shimmer and shine<br />
Under bright lights I'll come alive<br />
Can you see it, the subtle skin so radiant?<br />
I'll be home this winter but I swear never again<br />
<br />
This is for everyone and everything<br />
My hope spills out, my heart gives way<br />
I'm breaking ground, no I can't fake it now<br />
<br />
And I am shutting up, I'm closing out<br />
My soul begs for a change right now<br />
This is my cause, this is my life<br />
I'm standing up and taking mine<br />
<br />
This is my time to shimmer and shine<br />
Under bright lights I'll come alive<br />
Can you see it, the subtle skin so radiant?<br />
I'll be home this winter but I swear never again<br />
<br />
This is for everyone and everything<br />
My hope spills out, my heart gives way<br />
I'm breaking ground, no I can't fake it now<br />
<br />
And I am I'm shutting up I'm closing out<br />
My soul begs for a change right now<br />
I'm taking mine, this is my life
