From: The original soundtrack of the film 'It's My Turn'
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 in holdin' on when nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain 'coz 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 hold today
It's my turn
Yes, it's my turn
And there ain't no use in holdin' on when nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain 'coz 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 stars
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
It's my turn
