(written by Michelle Malone ©1999 Strange Bird Songs/Ensign Music/ASCAP)
All my life I’ve been waiting for this moment to arrive. Spent my days turned around and looking back the other way. Times like these can hit so hard. Wasted years swallowing the tears, swallowing the fear.
Time can bring you to your knees, if you don’t recognize them. Let them flow then you can go and let them shine for all the world to see.
In my dreams I’ve stood blind and waiting by the midnight sea. Send me light so that I can see tomorrow and believe. Times like these can turn the tide. Wasted years swallowing the tears, swallowing the fears.
All my life I’ve been waiting for this moment to arrive. All my life, I’m gonna let it shine.
