I'm Gonna Shine

I'm Gonna Shine

They told me dreams were meant to fade,
That stars like mine would drift away.
But I’ve been holding on so tight,
To every spark, to every light.

No more hiding who I am,
This is me — I rise, I stand.

I’m gonna shine, no matter what they say,
Blazing through the darkest day.
Like the sun that breaks the storm,
I was made to shine, to transform.
Can’t hold me down, I’m on my climb —
Watch me now… I’m gonna shine.

I’ve walked through doubt, I’ve felt the rain,
But never let it drown my flame.
Each time I fell, I rose with grace,
There’s fire written on my face.

Now the time has come to fly,
With my own light in the sky.

I’m gonna shine, no matter what they say,
Blazing through the darkest day.
Like the sun that breaks the storm,
I was made to shine, to transform.
Can’t hold me down, I’m on my climb —
Watch me now… I’m gonna shine.

Every voice that said I won’t,
Only made me know I won’t
Stop until the world can see —
The light I’ve always been to me.

I’m gonna shine, loud and free,
No fear, no apology.
From my soul to every line,
I’m the glow they’ll never confine.
Stand back, world — this light is mine…
I’m here now… and I’m gonna shine.
