Gathering shadows,
Anyone can build those castles in the air,
But will they ever see them?
Endlessly watching,
Will you always be a face out in the crowd,
When others take the glory?
It’s too late, I can’t wait.
Time moves on like a setting sun.
It’s my life, and I’ll do what I want,
Be what I want to be.
It’s my life.
And when you’re up there centre stage
Playing in the game that fate has left for you,
And everything is turning black.
And if you’re falling,
There is always someone waiting in the wings
Just to stab you in the back.
It’s too late, time won’t wait.
You will be out there on your own.
It’s my life, and I’ll do what I want,
Be what I want to be.
It’s my life.
When the shadows come, and you’re feeling small.
If you’re all alone, and you’ve seen it all,
When the times are low, lift your head up high.
Got to see the way.
Got to make it on your own.
