  In the past i lost
  Its my time now
  People were afraid, 
  was untrusted trade.
  Relations were broken,
  and No love token.
  Its my time now

  Family was sad.
  I gave courage 
  to disappointed dad.
  Its my time now.
  Drugs are no where
  Happiness is there.
  Worries are rare
  Best thing is care
  Its my time now.
