    How about this as an anthem for those of us exJWS????!!!!

    "It's My Turn"

    Artist(Band):Diana Ross


    (Mchael Masser/C. B. Sager)

    I can't cover up my feelings

    In the name of love

    Or play it safe

    For a while that was easy

    And if living for myself

    Is what I'm guilty of

    Go on and sentence me

    I'll still be free

    It's my turn

    To see what I can see

    I hope you'll understand

    This time's just for me

    Because it's my turn

    With no apologies

    I've given up the truth

    To those I've tried to please

    But now it's my turn

    If I don't have all the answers

    At least I know I'll take my share of chances

    Ain't no use in holding on

    When nothing stays the same

    So I'll let it rain

    'Cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me

    And I'll let you go

    'Though I know it won't be easy

    It's my turn

    With no more room for lies

    FOR YEARS I`VE SEEN MY LIFE

    Through someone else's eyes

    And now it's my turn

    To try and find my way

    And if I should get lost

    At least I'll own today

    It's my turn

    Yes, it's my turn

    And there ain't no use in holding of

    When nothing stays the same

    So I'll let it rain

    'Cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me

    And I'll let you go

    'Though I know it won't be easy

    It's my turn

    To see what I can see

    I hope you'll understand

    This time's just for me

    Because it's my turn

    To turn and say goodbye

    I sure would like to know

    That you're still on my side

    Because it's my turn

    It's my turn

    It's my turn

    To start from number one

    Trying to undo

    Some damage that's been done

    But now it's my turn

    To reach and touch the sky

    No one's gonna say

    At least I didn't try

    It's my turn

    Yes, it's my turn

    It's my turn

    It's my turn

    It's my turn

    They are apt words but we must keep in mind that the ex JWs are not a homogeneous lot with one purpose in mind eg some are atheists some are Christians etc

    Regardless of each individual ex JWs interest, we are all free of the cult influence!

    I'd just rather go with "Eye of the Tiger"...or, maybe that's just me showing my age...

    I always thought "Its My Life" by Bon Jovi was a good exJW anthem, the verse about It's my life/its now or never/cause I ain't gonna live forever... kinda sums up how I felt after realizing the whole "paradise erf" thing was a bunch of BS.

    I'm still working on the I just wanna live while I'm alive part...

    No Apologies

    Nice one EF

    I would imagine that lots of us can relate to those words wherever we find ourselves now

    BTW Welcome to JWD
