Let me be, this is my time. 

Let me be, this is my time. 
I am young, this is the time I can afford to live by my idealism 
When I still got the backbone, to stand up to unjust and corrupt morals 
When I still got the energy, to bear the weight that my idealism elicits
When I still got the courage, to dream big and the balls to take on the obstacles that come with my aspirations.

Let me be, this is my time.
I am young, this is the time I can afford the conviction to defend my idealism
When I still got the wits, to debate and the impatience for mediocrity
When I still got the friends, to rebuke, disregard or thumbs up my ideals
When I still got the aptitude, to call the resources to fund my itentions
When I still got the charm, to summon belief in my deeds
When I still got the blood and flesh, to die a thousand deaths.

Let me be, this is my time.
I am young, this is the time I can afford the creativity to change something 
When I have to look myself in the mirror and tell myself - not good enough
When I have to look my elders, my peers in the eye and tell them - not good enough
When I have to look my past, say thank you but - not good enough
When I have to look my future and say it can - not [be] good enough.   

Let me be, this is my time.
I am young, this is the time I can and MUST change the world.
