I shine

(ooh) Shine, shine— not too loud

Just a spark in my mouth

Woke up to a room of quiet rain

Same old doubt on my windowpane But I found a thread of

gold inside I pull it close and let it guide

If the day tries to dim my name

I breathe in and I fan the flame I

shine, I shine, I shine

Even when the sky says no

I shine, I shine,

I shine

Like a streetlight in the snow

I don't need permission to glow

I shine, I shine,

I shine

I used to hide my colors in my sleeves

Trade my truth for what the room believes Now I step out,

no apology

I let the whole world look at me

Hold me steady when I shake

I'm still the light I choose to make

I shine, I shine,

I shine

Even when the sky says no

I shine, I shine,

I shine

I turn the dark into a road I don't need permission to

glow I shine, I shine,

I shine (ah) (ooh)

I shine (ooh)
