when it's my moment in the sun 
oh, how beautiful I'll be 
but in a normal sort of way 
like I am you and you are me 

'cause I have a lot of things to say 
and you'd be wise to listen good 
I think that hunger, war and death 
are bringin' everybody down 

when it's my moment in the sun 
I'll share my problems with the world 
and psychosomatically I'll sing 
to God and all his pretty girls 

when it's my moment in the sun 
I won't torget that I am blessed 
but every hero walks alone 
thinking of more things to confess
