Lyrics
you don't know where you're going
you don't know where to start
you don't know if you'll play the lead
or if you have a part
the books are all back on the bookshelves
you close the door without a glance
you've finished all your sweeping now
it's time for the dance
it's your turn now
it's your turn now
its' time to shine on til' tomorrow
shine on through today
shine all your light and you can find a way
the road you're on now is missing
from the map you had before
we'll always be there to listen
and help to push you from the shore
you can fix what we have broken
you can use what we did right
you can make a perfect ending
to the chapter that you write
it's your turn now
it's your turn now
its' time to shine on til' tomorrow
shine on through today
shine all your light and you can find a way
it's your turn now
