Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But those days are gone now
I've got the will, I've earned the right
To show you, It's my time tonight
It's my time, It's my time, My moment
I'm not gonna let go of it
My time, It's my time and I'll stand proud
I'll show you what I'm made of
Show you all it's my time now
I'll break through, I've made my wound
And my faith is strong now
I've got the heart, To reach the height
To show you it's my time tonight
It's my time, It's my time, My moment
I'm not gonna let go of it
My time, It's my time and I'll stand proud
There's nothing I'm afraid of
I'll show you what I'm made of
Show you all it's my time now
I've got the will, I've earned the right

There's nothing I'm afraid of

Show you all it's my time now
Show you all it's my time now

The year 2009 was simply amazing! The fact that Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and a piece of his magic were brought on Eurovision, made me shed a tear :') And the song is gorgeous! To me, it was the winner :):)
