On June 11, 2012, Ravyn Red came into the Eating Disorders of York Region studio, where they performed their original song, "My Time."
"Ravyn Red is a hot band with a fresh sound whose performance and songs inspire the soul and spirit to soar!" - Janice Morgante, Executive Director, EDOYR
Here are the song lyrics* so you can sing along:
"My Time"
Inspired by the stars as I watch them from afar I want to be where they are I know it’s going to be hard
And I know what I see They might be... They might be better than me
(Chorus) But put up walls and I will climb Give me odds and I’ll defy I’m on a roll It's my time to shine And I will fight I will shine
You can tell me anything Bring me down, but I’ll push further Try to blind me but I see past the lies I’ll need more convincing
And I know what I see They’re not much... They’re not much different from me
(Chorus) So put up walls and I will climb Give me odds and I’ll defy I’m on a roll It's my time to shine And I will fight I will shine
Funny how things change so quick Bet you never saw this coming In the driver’s seat this time, moving fast
I put my time, blood, sweat, and tears Everything is on the line now Go ahead and close the door I’ll fly through the window
I’ve worked so hard, sacrificed Just to see my dreams come to life If you think they are impossible Then be ready to witness a miracle
(Chorus) So put up walls and I will climb Give me odds and I’ll defy I’m on a roll It's my time to shine And I will fight I will shine
Ravyn Red will be featured at Rock for Charity 2.0 among six other bands.
