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
