I've been walking in their shadow, always behind

Following the crowd, stuck in the grind

But now I see the light, it's time to be free

No more holding back, it's time to be me

Every step I take, I'm owning my way

Won't wait for tomorrow, I'm starting today

No one's gonna tell me where I need to go

I'm the one in charge, and now I know

Take the le-e-e-e-e-e-ad,

Don't follow be-e-e-e-hind,

This is your li-i-i-i-ife,

Make up your mind

Take the le-e-e-e-e-e-ad,

It's time to ri-i-i-ise,

You've got the fi-i-i-re,

You've got the prize

No more second guessing, no more doubt

It's my time to shine, gonna scream it out

I'll be the one they look to, the one they see

'Cause I know now, the power's in me

Take the le-e-e-e-e-e-ad,

Don't follow be-e-e-e-hind,

This is your li-i-i-i-ife,

Make up your mind

Take the le-e-e-e-e-e-ad,

It's time to ri-i-i-ise,

You've got the fi-i-i-re,

You've got the prize

You're stronger than you know,

Don't let the fear show,

The world is waiting for you,

To take control, it's true

Take the le-e-e-e-e-e-ad,

Don't follow be-e-e-e-hind,

This is your li-i-i-i-ife,

Make up your mind

Take the le-e-e-e-e-e-ad,

It's time to ri-i-i-ise,

You've got the fi-i-i-re,

You've got the prize

Take the lead,

It's all on you,

No more waiting,

Now it's true.
