My Turn

My turn to impress my will upon you
My turn to get a word in edgewise
My turn to point the truth out as I see it
And shout it out and express myself without restraint
My turn to draw attention
My turn to take a chance
My turn to be the leading man
My turn to dance

My turn to decide if we should linger
My turn to get the punch line for a change
My turn to show you how I really feel
Or conceal myself before your very eyes up on the stage
My turn to call the doctor
My turn to draw the line
My turn to set this place alight
My turn to shine

My turn to be a politician’s nightmare
My turn at stealing flowers from a grave
My turn to disappear when things get too rough
And then appear to be the guilty one who’s not to blame
My turn to turn the corner
My turn to take the wheel
My turn to gamble everything
My turn to deal
