[Verse 1]
I packed my yes in a box
Carried it far too long
Smiled through every "it's fine"
When I knew that I was gone
Gave my name to the room
Let it bend me thin
Now I hear my own pulse
Saying, "Girl, begin"
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the line now
Right in front of me
One step, one breath
I pick my own key
No more folding in
No more playing small
If I fall, I fall
But I'm standing tall
[Chorus]
The time is for me now
The time is for me now
Watch me take my crown
The time is for me now
I came to win this
I came to win this
Say it loud, say it proud
The time is for me now
[Verse 2]
Mud on my shoes, still run
Hands up, heart on fire
Every door that slammed
Built a stronger wire
I don't owe my shine
To a hand that held me low
I made a path in the dark
Now I let it show
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the line now
Right in front of me
One step, one breath
I pick my own key
No more folding in
No more playing small
If I fall, I fall
But I'm standing tall
[Chorus]
The time is for me now
The time is for me now
Watch me take my crown
The time is for me now
I came to win this
I came to win this
Say it loud, say it proud
The time is for me now
[Bridge]
I was the backup plan
I was the afterthought
Now I'm the first name
On every dream I fought
If they want the old me
They can keep that ghost
I'm here, I'm here
And I want it most
[Final Chorus]
The time is for me now
The time is for me now
Watch me take my crown
The time is for me now
I came to win this
I came to win this
Say it loud, say it proud
The time is for me now
The time is for me now
The time is for me now
This is my win
The time is for me now
