I used to think I had, thick skin
It took a while to peel it down and let you in
When I did I told you secrets
You held my fears
Took away as I lay my head down

It's time to begin
(To begin)
Let the sun
(Sun)
Shine
(Shine)
Back
(Back)
In here

It's time to begin
(To begin)
Claim the sun
(Sun)
Lay
(Lay)
Out
(Out)
Your heart

It's time to begin
Ooh

So when it was time to start
But then I fell to come forward
And my new skin
Now I need to sew the old and the new

When a black bug hidden in a door [unverified]
You came and turned the volume down
Now I need to find the balance
Between light and sound

It's time to begin
(To begin)
Let the sun
(Sun)
Shine
(Shine)
Back
(Back)
In here

It's time to begin
(To begin)
Claim the sun
(Sun)
Lay
(Lay)
Out
(Out)
Your heart

It's time to begin
(To begin)
Let the sun
(Sun)
Shine
(Shine)
Again
(Again)
Please again
It's time to begin

The journey has been long, my friend
You held my hand
Without a word I know you understand

It's time to begin
(To begin)
Let the sun
(Sun)
Shine
(Shine)
Back
(Back)
In here

It's time to begin
(To begin)
Claim the sun
(Sun)
Lay
(Lay)
Out
(Out)
Your heart

It's time to begin
(To begin)
Let the sun shine
(Shine)
Again
(Again)
Please again

It's time to begin
(To begin)
May there be day and love
It's time to begin, oh, oh, oh
