**Verse 1:**
44 years, I've been the one,
Always bending, always on the run.
Putting others first, my needs behind,
In this race, I've lost my mind.
**Chorus:**
But now it's time, to take my place,
No more running in this endless race.
My time, my heart, my soul to keep,
No more bending, no more weep.
**Verse 2:**
Every dollar, every hour spent,
On everyone else, my heart's lament.
Now I stand, it's my turn to shine,
This place is mine, this life is mine.
**Chorus:**
But now it's time, to take my place,
No more running in this endless race.
My time, my heart, my soul to keep,
No more bending, no more weep.
**Bridge:**
I’ll rise above, I’ll find my way,
No more shadows, no more gray.
This is my song, my voice, my fight,
I’ll take my stand, I’ll find my light.
**Chorus:**
But now it's time, to take my place,
No more running in this endless race.
My time, my heart, my soul to keep,
No more bending, no more weep.
**Outro:**
In the quiet of the night, I find my peace,
Letting go of all the pain, I release.
Tears may fall, but they cleanse my soul,
In this silence, I become whole.
Shadows fade, as dawn draws near,
In the stillness, I face my fear.
This journey's long, but I'll find my way,
In the end, I'll be okay.
