[Verse 1]
Make up your mind and don't believe
It's bad news everywhere
Take your time and look around
Because there's something in the air
There's a feeling that's gaining ground
And everyone can have a share
Don't miss your chance
Take up your stance
And just be sure that you are there

[Chorus]
It's in your hands now
To change your fortune, to shape your future
Be proud of yourself
Remember, things can only get better

[Verse 2]
If you believe inside your heart
Nobody's second class
Every day's a brand new start
What's past is past
And if your dreams go nowhere
Don't give up the fight
Come with me and you will see
It all looks different in the morning light

[Chorus]
It's in your hands now
To change your fortune, to shape your future
Be proud of yourself
Remember, things can only get better
If you're feeling you can't go on and
You're lost and lonely and feel so afraid
Remember, things can only get better

[Instrumental breakdown]

[Chorus]
It's in your hands now
To change your fortune, to shape your future
Be proud of yourself
Remember, things can only get better
If you're feeling you can't go on and
You're lost and lonely and feel so afraid
Remember, things can only get better
It's in your hands now
To change your fortune, to shape your future
Be proud of yourself
Remember, things can only get better

Kylie Minogue is an Australian singer, songwriter, and actress. Often referred to as the Goddess of Pop with a career spanning over 30 years, she has transformed from girl-next-door soap star to ‘90s pop starlet, and short-lived indie darling to bona fide superstar.

Kylie earned her first big break on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. An on-screen romance with Jason Donovan – who played Scott Robinson – blossomed into a real-life relationship, and their wedding on the soap drew in millions of viewers. However, her real ambition was a successful career in music, and by 1988 her debut album, Kylie, was released, reaching #1 in the UK and Australia. Notching up 10 UK Top 3 singles by 1993, she was one of the defining popstars of the early ‘90s. Her follow-ups to the debut album – Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let’s Get To It – all reached the Top 15 in the UK.

With a blossoming relationship with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Kylie was encouraged to be more ambitious with her image and sound. As such, she left her former label, PWL, and released the daring “Confide In Me” in early 1994. Critics praised her re-invention, and the single restored the success she had somewhat lost with her previous album. Impossible Princess was another critical success but failed to make much of an impact on the charts, which led some media outlets to believe that her “15 minutes of fame” were over.
