It's My Time
Embrace Your Moment: It's My Time by Martina McBride Unveiled
Lyrics
Red sun sitting on the road behind her
The sun is setting behind her as she travels on the road.
A hundred miles out of her hometown
She's far away, a hundred miles from where she grew up.
Drops a quarter in a beat up pay phone
She uses a beat-up payphone and inserts a coin.
Listens to it rattle on down
She listens as the coin drops down the phone.
Voices cold as the phone she's holding
The voices on the other end are as cold as the phone itself.
The connects way too clear
The connection is too clear, too harsh.
He's yelling where's my inner
He's yelling about his inner turmoil or struggles.
She's too far gone to care
She's emotionally detached or distant to care about his yelling.
She says listen here
She asserts herself, likely to confront the situation.
There's a time to stand and the time is now or never
It's a critical moment for action, a now-or-never situation.
A time to fly, time to let go forever
There's a need to let go and move forward.
A time to grow, and a time to discover
Time for personal growth and exploration.
Life is precious, every second
Life is valuable, every moment counts.
You've wasted mine and it's my time
She feels her time has been wasted and asserts her own importance.
She puts a few more miles between them
She increases the distance between them, physically or emotionally.
He pours a distance of his own
He's creating his own emotional distance.
Starts talking to the bottle
He turns to alcohol as a coping mechanism.
It's all that left now she's gone
It's the only thing left after she's gone.
He rages on till the National Anthem
He reacts angrily until the National Anthem plays on TV.
Come on his TV
A patriotic moment interrupts his anger.
Then he looks straight at the bottle
He blames the bottle for his situation.
And says you did this to me
He accuses the bottle of causing his downfall.
And then he screams
He screams out in frustration or pain.
There's a time to stand and the time is now or never
A repetition of the critical moment for action.
A time to fly, time to let go forever
Reiteration of the need to let go and move on.
A time to grow, and a time to discover
Emphasizes the importance of growth and discovery.
Life is precious, every second
Reminder of the value of every moment in life.
You've wasted mine and it's my time
Reassertion of feeling that time has been wasted and it's her turn now.
It's my time, it's my time, it's my time
Empowerment and assertion of her own time.
And the time is what you make it
Time is subjective and defined by oneself.
It's my time, it's my time, it's my time
Reasserting ownership of her time.
There's a time to stand and the time is now or never
Another call for action, a crucial moment to act.
A time to fly, time to let go forever
Repeated emphasis on the need to move forward.
A time to grow, and a time to discover
Continued stress on personal development and exploration.
Life is precious, every second
Reminder of the significance of every passing moment in life.
You've wasted mine and it's my time
Reiteration of feeling that her time has been wasted and it's now her turn to assert herself.
