Music and lyrics by Brenda Earle Stokes

lyrics

It's high time I paid a little more attention
It's high time I thought about trying to change direction
High time I took into consideration all the chances for my elevation and the simple thought that maybe I could take a chance for once an really go the distance.

It's high time I started to adjust my boundaries
It's high time I started seeing what’s around me
High time I stopped myself from doing things for evrybody else and started living for myself, and looking out for number one and maybe having fun while I do it.

Please, don't give me your opinions
I can make my own decisions
I'm forgiving all this happenstance, give me a chance, and I will surely learn a thing or two.
I've had enough, I can't continue.

It's high time I put the focus back on me
It's high time I put a little thought into my journey
High time I started living in the present not the past, my life is moving way too fast an all I do is give myself away to you.
To mine own self be true.
To mine own self be true.
