My Turn

When will it be my turn to be first in line To strap into the seat and just enjoy the ride When will it be my turn to wake up and start the day Without the fear that something might not be okay When will it be my turn to get what I want To not have to think so much about so much going wrong When will it be my turn to not watch it from a screen As someone else moves on and gets to live their dream And the grass keep growing and the river keeps flowing And the cars keep blowing by me waiting for a ride And the world seems bigger and time moves quicker As my candle starts to flicker I step aside When will it be my turn to know where to be To set myself up for success and have good things come to me When will it be my turn to see myself as worth the time That it seems to be taking to find someone who's right And the grass keep growing and the river keeps flowing And the cars keep blowing by me waiting for a ride And the world seems bigger and time moves quicker As my candle starts to flicker I step aside When will it be my turn When will it be my turn It's not like I expect this to be easy I'm just tired of coming up short I know it will all work out with a little patience But I feel I'm falling behind in the score Too much to make it up I sure could use a little luck They say good things come to those who wait But I've been falling down on my face Time and again Time and again 'Cause while she's been falling my heart's been calling And I'm ready to be all in but there's no one by my side Could I just stop caring, could I be more daring Tune out how she is faring maybe I will hit my stride 'Cause my grass is still growing and that river keeps on flowing And the winds of change are blowing, it's time for me to turn the tide 'Cause the world is bigger and the pool is thicker If I learn to pull the trigger I will be alright Maybe now it's my turn Maybe now it's my turn Maybe now it's my turn to not be afraid To take a chance and get out of my own way
