Oh, why don't you show
Why must you hide
What you can't keep inside
Is it your pride?
Just let it go
Now you just let it go
For once in your life
You've got to do what you can
When it's all in your hands
Start to make plans
Hope and understand
Be your own man
Just be your own man
For once in your life
Time to turn around
Time to face the crowd
No matter what they say
You make it yours today
You've got to take the weight
You've got to take the strain
And you know that nothing else will do
You know nothing else can be
You've got to make a new start
With a whole change of heart
Turn over a new leaf
And a little belief
You will make a start
You will make a start
The rest of your life
You've got to make the first move
Got nothing to lose
Got the whole world to gain
Rekindle your flame
And just let it burn
Now you just let it burn
For once in your life
Time to turn around
Time to face the crowd
No matter what they say
You make it yours today
You've got to take the reigns
You've got to take the strain
And you know that nothing else will do
You know nothing else can do
And so the story is told
Passed on by the old
About the slave who was sold
By the man whos hearts cold
He buries the hold
And I know he can't halt
The rest of his life
He buries the hold
And I know he can't halt
The rest of his life
Time to turn around
Time to face the crowd
No matter what they say
You make it yours today
Time to turn around
Yes it's time to turn around
Time to face the crowd
