[Verse 1]
My cousin move like winter
Still bloom in the cold
She take a hit, then laugh it off
Like she made of gold
Got that kind eyes, hard spine
Soft heart, steel frame
Walk through the rain with a grin on
Say my name
She carry heavy days
Like they barely weigh a thing
Every scar on her sleeve
Turned into a ring
And when the room go quiet
She still make it sing
(yeah, she still make it sing)
[Pre-Chorus]
I seen her fall, then rise again
Hands up in the dark
She don’t ask for perfect
She just plays the part
Of the one who keeps going
When the world gets sharp
(keeps going)
[Chorus]
My cousin, she shine
She shine so hard
My cousin, she shine
Right from the scars
Strong and sweet
That’s her charm
My cousin, she shine
She shine so hard
[Verse 2]
She got a funny little way
Of healing every room
One side eye, one real talk
And the tension move
She’ll hand you hope like change
From the pocket of her jeans
Then crack a joke so clean
You forget what hurt means
When life get loud
She don’t fold, she don’t flee
She plant her feet in the floor
Like a rooted tree
And if she ever doubt herself
I tell her what I see
(what I see)
[Pre-Chorus]
I seen her fall, then rise again
Hands up in the dark
She don’t ask for perfect
She just plays the part
Of the one who keeps going
When the world gets sharp
(keeps going)
[Chorus]
My cousin, she shine
She shine so hard
My cousin, she shine
Right from the scars
Strong and sweet
That’s her charm
My cousin, she shine
She shine so hard
[Bridge]
If I ever lose my way
I call her name
She got that steady fire
Running through her veins
Not a crown, not a show
Just a heart that stays
(heart that stays)
Yeah, she makes hard look gentle
In her own brave way
[Chorus]
My cousin, she shine
She shine so hard
My cousin, she shine
Right from the scars
Strong and sweet
That’s her charm
My cousin, she shine
She shine so hard
