My Time To Shine

Can I trust you with a piece of my soul? Can I tell you my hidden secrets and trust them in your possession to hold This may be spontaneous but the stage is calling my name And the adrenaline inside of me is going insane The vibration of the beat is bumping in my chest I never done this before as I close my eyes and pray for the best Can I trust you with my biggest fear? I am scared of rejection but this just might just be my cure This is my time to shine I am certain As I pace back and forth behind the closed curtains And when they scream Vanessa come to the stage The audience applause and gives me praise The curtain opens as I get frozen and stuck But I look up and ask God to wish me luck The lights dim low and the spot light shines on me This is my time to shine, this is meant to be My mouth opens as the words flow into the microphone These lyrics I own As I feed your ears with a piece of my heart What did I start? I see smiles fill the room with all eyes drawn to me This is my time to shine as I introduce you to creativity With each word that I speak With each tear that I weep Our emotions intertwine The feelings you feel are mine The crowd starts moving and swaying Many nodding their heads like they feel what I’m saying I notice my words start to draw you in close I can tell the crowd loves me the most People stand before I am done Matter of fact each and everyone I see people anticipating the snap I see people waiting to clap And when I’m done with my piece The silence has come to a cease As the crowd creates a unique beat With snaps as they stomp their feet
