Still I Shine

Verse 1

I was walking through the dark

With a thousand cracks in my armor

Every voice said I was wrong

But my heartbeat got louder

All the weight on my shoulders

All the nights I couldn’t sleep

Still a fire underneath me

Burning quiet, burning deep

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been bent, I’ve been broken

But I never lost my name

In the silence, I heard something

Calling me to rise again

Chorus

I don’t need gold to glow

I don’t need crowns to be strong

Every scar is a spark in my soul

I was shining all along

I’m a light in the dark, I know

When the world tries to pull me apart

From the dust, from the pain, from the low

Still I shine, still I shine ✨

Verse 2

Mirror says I’m imperfect

But I see something braver

Every tear left a diamond

Every fall made me greater

I was searching for approval

In the wrong kind of love

Now I’m standing in my truth

Looking straight up above

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been lost in the noise

Trying hard just to belong

Now I hear my own voice

And it’s steady, and it’s strong

Chorus

I don’t need gold to glow

I don’t need crowns to be strong

Every scar is a spark in my soul

I was shining all along

I’m a light in the dark, I know

When the world tries to pull me apart

From the dust, from the pain, from the low

Still I shine, still I shine

Bridge (Orchestral Lift – Half-Time Feel)

Let the drums fall quiet

Let the strings pull me higher

I was born from the fire

I survived, I survived

No chains on my spirit

No fear in my eyes

I don’t fade in the night

I ignite, I ignite 🔥

Final Chorus (Bigger, Full Production)

I don’t need gold to glow

I don’t need crowns to be strong

Every scar is a spark in my soul

I was shining all along

I’m a light in the dark, I know

Hear my voice, hear my heart

From the dust, from the pain, from the low

Still I shine, still I shine

Outro

So when the sky falls in

And the stars feel far away

I’ll remember who I am

I don’t break… I blaze

Still I shine ✨
