Open Mic week 69 - I'm posting another original this week. This one is on my EP and it's called "Shine". I really prefer the recorded track, but this will do for openmic purposes ;)
I wrote this song after MANY failed attempts at auditions, they never seemed to get me anywhere.. except I walked away with more experience and confidence.. and I decided to write my own song about it.
When you're signing up for battle
and you take your place in line
all these unfamiliar faces
tryin to pass the time
Then you step into the spotlight
tryin to clear your mind
gotta leave your best impression
it's your time to shine
60 seconds to shine
Trying hard to find a balance
you feel so insecure
then you rise up to the challenge
yeah, it's what you want for sure
60 seconds to shine
Just a moment in time
60 seconds to break it down and lay it out
turn the tables all around and shine
60 seconds to shine
the moment goes by so fast
yeah you know that feeling won't last
Then it's over in an instant
the faces fade away
but if it wasn't meant to happen
you'll make it another way
you'll make it another way
60 seconds to shine
Just a moment in time
60 seconds to break it down and lay it out
turn the tables all around and shine
shine
