I have got it in me

Always been in the cocoon of home

Feeling the protection that’s bestowed upon

Thwarting my mind from pouring out

But it’s time for me to break through and get out

I realize it was a golden cage

Then I had my future envisaged

I know that I’ve got it in me

Just waiting for the opportunity

To tell the world that I’ve arrived

And get things contrived

Can’t wait for someone to free me out

Is there anyone, I doubt

I know I got to defy the rule

For that I have to take the plunge and to add some fuel

To my breaming mind

Which is full of ideas giant

Simmering within is my dream

Ready to find its way like a virgin stream

So there’s no time to wait around and sigh

It’s time for me to kiss all the fears goodbye

That’s why I say ..

I know that I’ve got it in me

Just waiting for the opportunity

To tell the world that I’ve arrived

And get things contrived

And if you think I overreach

All that I can say to each

Is that you are yet to see

Because I believe in me

Even if you don’t like me

You cannot ignore me

No no you can’t hold me back

Don’t ever try to run me down

I can fight any obstacle

Because I got the power mystical

And that’s nothing but the faith inside

Which people sappily try to find outside

In the darkest moments of life

I try to retreive in my mind

I know that I’ve got it in me

Just waiting for the opportunity

To tell the world that I’ve arrived

And get things contrived

I am going to make things happen

Going to get all my dreams laden

Wishes will materialise for real

Will get myself a deal

I am the change that world needs

And I am the one who’s going to suceed

Its time to rise and shine

So if you are my friend

To the end

Come along and let’s cross the horizon

Singing along

And if you don’t want to take the chance

I can still go alone and advance

Because I know that I’ve got it in me

Just waiting for the opportunity

To tell the world that I’ve arrived

And get things contrived.….

Yes… I have got it in me
