I used to think I had
thick skin, it took a while
to peel it down and let u in
When I did I told u secrets
You held my fears
Took away as I lay my head down
It's time to begin
Let the sun shine back in here
It's time to begin
Claim the sun's rays as yours
It's time to begin
Surrendering was hard to start
but then I felt a comfort
In my new skin now I need to sew
the old and the new
Wound up like a living doll,
you came and turned the volume down
Now I need to find the balance
between loud and soft
It's time to begin
Let the sun shine back in here
It's time to begin
Claim the sun's rays as yours
It's time to begin
and shine again, breathe again
It's time to begin
The journey has been long, my friend
You held my hand
Without a word I know you understand
It's time to begin
Let the sun shine back in here
It's time to begin
Claim the sun's rays as yours
It's time to begin
and shine again, breathe again
It's time to begin
live everyday as your last
It's time to begin
