Escape (Time to shine)

Escape liberates self
From childhood ties
I'm learning to stand
On my own two feet
No more influence clawing

But no escapism
Stresses my real root
Firmly in the here and now
Enjoying every day
Walking in the sun

Ties that bind, untied
The spectre now undone
A past repaid in full
I walk on, held high
Only the future is mine

My time slips forward
Into my bright future
I can't believe it's coming
Finally arriving
And not a day too late

So my time comes
And I step into the light
My hour, my moment
Time to shine
This day so amazing
