Time To Shine
Queen + Paul Rodgers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To heaven you rise in a holy embrace
Your feet on the ground, your head in the clouds
And you're wondering if you're ever coming down
In an instant the mysteries of life will unfold
The myths and the dragons of time will explode
Here's to a real understanding of truth
Raise up your mind
It's time to shine
A moment down through millennium
Unveiling the secrets of songs to be sung
Waters of life flowing soft to the touch
Wisdom remembered, have we forgotten oh, so much?
Raise up your mind
It's time to shine
Raise up your mind
Hey, it's time to shine
Let's awaken from barbarity
Into a world of serenity
Beyond the rage of foolish pride
And on to the golden shores of paradise
Raise up your mind
Hey, it's time to shine
Raise up your mind
Hey, it's time to shine
Raise up your mind
Your time to shine
It's time to shine
It's time to shine
The song "Time to Shine" by Queen + Paul Rodgers is a motivational anthem that encourages listeners to rise above their current circumstances and live a life of purpose and meaning. The lyrics describe the feeling of being lifted up by the wind and the sun, and the sense of wonder and amazement that comes with experiencing life to its fullest. The song encourages listeners to embrace their true selves and to let go of fears and doubts that may be holding them back.
The opening lines of the song "With the sun in your eyes and the wind in your face, to heaven you rise in a holy embrace" speak to the power of nature and the way it can inspire us to see things in a new light. The lyrics suggest that by embracing the natural world, we can feel lifted up and connected to something bigger and more meaningful than ourselves. Similarly, the lines "Waters of life flowing soft to the touch, wisdom remembered, have we forgotten oh, so much?" suggest that there is a deeper truth to be discovered beyond the surface of our everyday lives, and that we need to look within ourselves to find it.
Throughout the song, the repeated refrain "Raise up your mind, it's time to shine" serves as a call to action, urging listeners to have the courage and confidence to pursue their dreams and live a life that is true to their values. The song's final lines, "Your time to shine, it's time to shine," suggest that each of us has a unique role to play in the world, and that we need to step up and embrace our true potential if we want to make a real difference.

Paul Rodgers has one of the Best Voices Ever....
@jerrypowers7671
Totally agree.
@rocknjbindad3707
The most glaring omission from the Rock and Roll HOF is Paul Rodgers. He has proved to be one of the most versatile front men in rock history.
@rocknjbindad3707
Jann Wenner who runs Rolling Stone and the HOF never appreciated the brilliance and vocal quality of Paul Rodgers.
Paul is a glaring omission.
@rocknjbindad3707
V4EKKRINH4RT The Pistols didnt decline the induction. They just told Jann Wenner to kiss their asses and didnt attend.
@billygoatsgruff8068
Fuck the HOF.
-lemmy and paul
@rogertayloRRR
Agreed
@LamelKendrick
HOFs are generally arbitrary nonsense. Look at Major League Baseball. Most of the players from 80s and 90s juiced but only the ones who clearly look bulked up face any scrutiny.
@TheMacabreTavern
Wow, this is a pretty deep album...
@AndrewEwing1995
As far as I'm concerned, this album is quite a piece. Sure it's not with Freddie because he's dead and it's not like they can bring him back for another album. They learned to move forward and wanted to try something new with a different feel. Not too many people like that blusey vibe but I enjoy it.
