I've been walking in their shadow, always behind
Following the crowd, stuck in the grind
But now I see the light, it's time to be free
No more holding back, it's time to be me
Every step I take, I'm owning my way
Won't wait for tomorrow, I'm starting today
No one's gonna tell me where I need to go
I'm the one in charge, and now I know
Take the le-e-e-e-e-e-ad,
Don't follow be-e-e-e-hind,
This is your li-i-i-i-ife,
Make up your mind
Take the le-e-e-e-e-e-ad,
It's time to ri-i-i-ise,
You've got the fi-i-i-re,
You've got the prize
No more second guessing, no more doubt
It's my time to shine, gonna scream it out
I'll be the one they look to, the one they see
'Cause I know now, the power's in me
Take the le-e-e-e-e-e-ad,
Don't follow be-e-e-e-hind,
This is your li-i-i-i-ife,
Make up your mind
Take the le-e-e-e-e-e-ad,
It's time to ri-i-i-ise,
You've got the fi-i-i-re,
You've got the prize
You're stronger than you know,
Don't let the fear show,
The world is waiting for you,
To take control, it's true
Take the le-e-e-e-e-e-ad,
Don't follow be-e-e-e-hind,
This is your li-i-i-i-ife,
Make up your mind
Take the le-e-e-e-e-e-ad,
It's time to ri-i-i-ise,
You've got the fi-i-i-re,
You've got the prize
Take the lead,
It's all on you,
No more waiting,
Now it's true.
