Time of My Life

by David Cook

I been waiting for my dreams to turn into something I could believe it
And I'm looking for the magic rainbow on the horizon I couldn't see it
Until I let go, gave in love, watch all the bitterness burn
Now I'm coming alive body and soul

Feeling my world starts to turn
And I'll taste every moment and living out loud
I know this is the time; this is the time to be
More than a name or face in the crowdI know this is the time; this is the time of my life
The time of my life

Holding onto things and vanish them to the air left me in pieces
But now I'm rising from the ashes finding my wings
And all that I needed was there all along within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart

And I'll taste every moment and living out loud
I know this is the time; this is the time to be
More than a name or face in the crowdI know this is the time; this is the time of my life
The time of my life


A mouth on the edge of forever ready to roar
Keeping my feet on the ground my arms open wide faces the sun

And I'll taste every moment and living out loud
I know this is the time; this is the time to be
More than a name or face in the crowd
I know this is the time; this is the time of my life
The time of my life


More than a name or face in the crowd
I know this is the time; this is the time of my life
This is the time of my life
The time of my life!

The song is all about achieving dreams and living it. When I start to listen to the song, I can imagine myself after I have fulfilled my dreams. It's a wonderful feeling. It makes me smile and wish that I can bypass the time and go directly to that moment. But lets go back to reality. I am but a face in the crowd, a young man looking for the rainbow on the horizon but still cannot see it. I'm confused right now. I can see my dreams clearly but the path to them are not clear. It is like a road full of haze. But I know it will bring me nowhere if I just stand here and wait. I need to take steps and hope that I'll reach the final destination. Right now I am doing these little steps, steps that can lead me to the people who can give me a little information on where I am going. I cannot say that they are actually giving me the right direction, but they are helping me know the different paths that I can take.

Right now I am in a crossroad where I can take different paths and I'm still having a hard time choosing what road to take. I'm afraid that it will bring me to a wrong direction, a direction that will lead me away from my dreams. But I have to be strong and brave enough to take these paths and return back and take the other roads if I took the wrong one. The only thing I have right now is my will and determination to achieve my dreams. These things serve as the candle that will help me walk through the dark and hazy roads. I just hope that the candle will burn continuously. Yes, there will be a lot of people that I'll meet on my way or they can even walk with me through this journey. But I know I cannot rely on them entirely on my soul searching. They also have their own journey to take. It is like walking on a busy street and asking people for direction. They can give you the directions but they will not accompany you to your destination for they are busy doing something.

When will I be able to relate to this song? Or will I ever have the chance to relate to it? Well, it depends on how well I can do to reach the destination as fast as I can. Maybe this is just it for now. We can never tell. Maybe I'll be someone you never thought I'd be tomorrow or still be the same old me.

I will be writing about my journey from time to time. This is just a start of the long awaited quest. And when I reach the venue, I hope all of you will still be there to watch my concert.

I will be more than a name or a face in the crowd….I will be the star of the show.
