Graduation Song & Lyrics
My Time – Khimo Gumatay
VERSE 1
All those times
I just cry and hide
Makes me work much harder
All of the fighting
All of the pain
Makes me that much stronger
I’ll climb that mountain
CHORUS
And show you it’s my time
It’s my time to shine
With you as my guide
I fear no pain
I’ll reach for the skies
I will learn to fly
I’ll be strong
I’ll be brave
I’ll make waves
It’s my time
VERSE 2
Didn’t come this far
Just to quit in the rain
There’s a rainbow there just waiting
I’m not afraid
I know you’re with me each day
Oh your love is my safe place
You’re always by my side
CHORUS
It’s my time
It’s my time to shine
With you as my guide
I fear no pain
I’ll reach for the skies
I will learn to fly
I’ll be strong
I’ll be brave
I’ll make waves
It’s my time
BRIDGE
Through all of the burdens and hurting (It’s my time)
I’ll always keep breathing, believe it (It’s my time)
No matter how long it takes
I’ll find my way
CHORUS
It’s my time
It’s my time to shine
With you as my guide
I fear no pain
I’ll reach for the skies
I will learn to fly
And I’ll be strong
And I’ll be brave
And I’ll make waves
And I’ll make waves
And I’ll make waves
It’s my time
It’s my time
It’s my time
It’s my time
