Story Behind The Song
The song was an assignment for a class I took in NYC sponsored by the Songwriter's Hall of Fame. I wrote about the enthusiasm of teens in a Performing Arts High School (FAME intention) and their struggles to work toward their goal of performing on stage as a career. My whole life, I have always wanted to sing, write and perform my music. Being older, I put motherhood first and am going after a life-long dream of having one of my songs recognized by the music industry.... hoping that soon, "It's My Time".
Song Description
The song was written for consideration in the new FAME movie to be released in September, 2009. When production of the song was complete, it was determined that the music for the movie was already wrapped up. This song would be great for Disney, Nickelodeon, or any situation needing a young sounding inspirational song. The Latin/Pop production would make it marketable in this genre and numerous outlets.

Lyrics
IT'S MY TIME
Words and Music By Judy Money
This is real, I'm here and it's all new to me
I've been working toward this moment tirelessly
All my life I've wanted my turn
Even with my fears I moved on
Electricity is running
Charging through my veins
Through the pain and tears I've gained maturity
Eating, drinking, breathing my goal endlessly
Never did I quit and I'll say
Through it all I did it my way
Working hard until this day now
Fin'lly I can see
It's my time... Yeah, I know, hey, it's here
It's my time... And I know that it's clear
It's my time... Gonna shine, It's my time
Na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
In my heart and soul I know I have no choice
Listening to the echo of my inner voice
Telling me pursue my passion
Blood and sweat became my fashion
I'm exploding, bursting 'cause my
Destiny tells me
CHORUS REPEATS
Baby in my lifetime I have dreamed
My future's here and coming fast
And I won't leave stones unturned
Through everything I've learned
I'm working hard each day so I can make it last
It's my time, it's my time, it's my time, Oh... It's my time
Gonna shine ,Gonna shine
CHORUS REPEATS TWICE
