The Time of My Life 
Artist: David Cook 
Writer: Reinald Glenn Hamm 

I've been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something I could believe In
And looking for that magic rainbow
On the horizon, I couldn't see it

Until I let go, gave in to love
Watched all the bitterness burn
Now I'm coming alive, body and soul
Feeling my world start to turn

Chorus:
And I'll taste every •moment and live it out loud
I know this is the time, this is the time to be
More than a name or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time, this is the time of my life
The time of my life

Holding on to things that vanished
Into the air, left me in pieces
But now I'm rising from the ashes
Finding my wings and all that I needed
Was there all along, within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart

(Chorus)
And now I'm out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
Keeping my feet on the ground, arms open wide
Facing the sun

(Chorus)
