Lyrics
Look in the mirror and see what you see. A frowning face looking sad as can be in your time in your mind. Look in the mirror and see what I see a smiling face as that's happy as can be in my time in my mind. I'm reclaiming my time, its my time not your time and the pleasures all mine, its mind all mine.(repeat)
Look out the window and see what you see. Dark clouds dreary as can be in your time, in your mind. Look out the window and see what I see, a sunny day that"s clear as can be in my time in my mind.
Chorus
See your opinion doesn't matter to me. My heart has changed no more negativity, it's my time in my mind. See I can say it's a brand new day. I was so happy the day you went away. It's my time, in my mind.
Chorus
Vamp: All the ladies wave your hands and sing along with me
It's my time, my time, my time, my time to shine
Chorus
