My Turn to Shine

I've paid my dues, done my time
I'm all about cashin in
Flown the miles and earned these wings
Found my voice, gonna sing

I've been bruised and battered
Torn and tattered
I got up when they all said stay down
But the fire burned and I waited my turn
To set my flame alight in this world

Now the stars have finally found me
I got spotlights all around me
Everybody look at me
Cuz it's my turn to shine
Call it fate, call it destiny
All I know is it belongs to me
Cuz it's my turn, it's my turn to shine

I've mixed with faces and played the scene
Still they don't know my name
Been to places that I shouldn't have been
Just to stay a part of the game

I've been bruised and battered
Torn and tattered
I got up when they all said stay down
But the fire burned and I waited my turn
To set my flame alight in this world

Now the stars have finally found me
I got spotlights all around me
Everybody look at me
Cuz it's my turn to shine
Call it fate, call it destiny
All I know is it belongs to me
Cuz it's my turn, it's my turn to shine

I've shaken the shackles, taken the tackles
Fallen but now I'm up again
I'm here to do battle, I've learned to survive
I'm still alive, wo oh, ooh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh

Now the stars have finally found me
I got spotlights all around me
Everybody look at me
Cuz it's my turn to shine
Call it fate, call it destiny
All I know is it belongs to me
Cuz it's my turn, it's my turn to shine
