Shine Anyway #1

Shine Anyway

Clouds may gather, skies may cry,
Dreams get heavy, but I still try.
Even when the world feels gray,
My heart keeps glowing anyway.

I’ve been bruised but not broken,
I’m a light that’s always spoken.

I will shine — anyway,
Even when the skies are grey.
Even if they doubt my flame,
I’ll rise up just the same.
Through the dark, through the pain,
Like the sun after rain —
I will shine…
Shine anyway.

Every step, I walk with grace,
Even fear can’t slow my pace.
My spirit’s loud, my dreams are high,
I’ll touch the stars, I’ll kiss the sky.

No more waiting to be seen,
I’ll be my own silver screen.

I will shine — anyway,
Even when I lose my way.
Even when the nights are long,
I hold on and sing my song.
With each scar, I remain,
Unshaken by the rain —
I will shine…
Shine anyway.

Let them whisper, let them doubt,
But they can’t dim what I’m about.
This heart is fire, this soul is gold,
I shine, I burn, I won't be told.

I will shine — anyway,
In my wild and wondrous way.
You’ll see light where I have stood,
Turning shadows into good.
Let the world spin, come what may —
I will shine…
Shine anyway.
