I didn´t know this song before to be honest. Heard it in a TV show and googled for it. It turned out to be a Diana Ross song. Wow. I was interested in singing this wonderful piece, because of the enchanting melody and some lines I memorized quickly, that seemed to be perfectly reflecting the situation, I was in a while ago. I was a little demotivated then, as non of my collabs actually turned out the way I wished. So I faced the fact that as a non-musician, that I am, I had to find my own way to create and produce the demos of my own songs.
The following lines cover up exactly what I thought back then: "But now it's my turn. If I don't have all the answers, at least I know, I'll take my share of chances. It's my turn to try and find my way. And if I should get lost, at least I'll own today. It's my turn to reach and touch the sky. No one's gonna say, at least I didn't try."
And so I will. Brave as I am. :-)))
See you soon. Cheers.

It´s my turn
(Michael Masser and C.B. Sager)
I can't cover up my feelings
In the name of love
Or play it safe
For a while that was easy
And if living for myself
Is what I'm guilty of
Go on and sentence me
I'll still be free
It's my turn
To see what I can see
I hope you'll understand
This time's just for me
Because it's my turn
With no apologies
I've given up the truth
To those I've tried to please
But now it's my turn
If I don't have all the answers
At least I know
I'll take my share of chances
Ain't no use of holding on
When nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain
'Cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me
And I'll let you go
'Though I know it won't be easy
It's my turn
With no more room for lies
For years I've seen my life
Through someone else's eyes
And now it's my turn
To try and find my way
And if I should get lost
At least I'll own today
It's my turn
Yes, it's my turn
And there ain't no use in holding on
When nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain
'Cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me
And I'll let you go
'Though I know it won't be easy
It's my turn
To see what I can see
I hope you'll understand
This time's just for me
Because it's my turn
To turn and say goodbye
I sure would like to know
That you're still on my side
Because it's my turn
It's my turn
It's my turn
To start from number one
Trying to undo
Some damage that's been done
It's my turn
Yes, it's my turn
But now it's my turn
To reach and touch the sky
No one's gonna say
At least I didn't try
It's my turn
Yes, it's my turn
It's my turn
It's my turn
It's my turn
BEAUTIFUL VERSION, I REALLY ENJOYED IT!!

This was so beautifully and touchingly done it can move the souls of statues. A truly superb job, not to mention that this is one of my top 5 favorite songs of all times; at one point or another is something we go through, having My Turn. I was singing along, but I am nowhere near as great as you.~

Emanuel, thaaaank you. I am deeply flattered. I am so honored, as you seem to like the song. I´m a little ashamed, as I didn´t know the song before. The words are great. And you´re right we all have our turns at times. And this song describes it perfectly, and covered by a stunning melody. Please sing along with me. Singing is such joy. Thank you for saving it as fave dear. André :-)

@BaerchenprinzBln Isn't it something how we all can discover little gems in songs, art and life experiences in general? That's why we have to go on with life discovering the good and the bad and use it for our benefit of living, loving and learning. ;-)

Well I agree, on our way we have to go through good and bad to benefit and appreciate the things that are important. Very wise Emanuel. I send you my best wishes.... :-)
