Let Me Shine

[Verse 1]
I learned to bloom in cracks
While they looked away
Got a room full of gold
And still heard them say
“Wait your turn”
“Keep it small”
I was built for more
I was built to fall
[Pre-Chorus]
But I kept my name alive
In the dark they left me in
Every door they locked on me
Made my fire kick in
You can count me out
You can call it luck
I was made too loud
To stay stuck
[Chorus]
Let me shine, let me shine
I was born to rise
Let me shine, let me shine
Watch me claim my sky
You forgot me once
Now I won’t break
I was never small
I was just erased
Let me shine, let me shine
I’m taking my place
[Verse 2]
They took the ladder down
Then blamed my hands
Built a maze of rules
Just to keep me ran
But I know my worth
Like a scar knows pain
I can turn my bruises
Into something brave
[Pre-Chorus]
And I kept my name alive
In the dark they left me in
Every door they locked on me
Made my fire kick in
You can count me out
You can call it luck
I was made too loud
To stay stuck
[Chorus]
Let me shine, let me shine
I was born to rise
Let me shine, let me shine
Watch me claim my sky
You forgot me once
Now I won’t break
I was never small
I was just erased
Let me shine, let me shine
I’m taking my place
[Bridge]
I’m not your “almost”
I’m not your wait
I’m the hand on the door
I’m the line that breaks
Hear me now
I’m alive
All the power you buried
Pulled me to the light
[Final Chorus]
Let me shine, let me shine
I was born to rise
Let me shine, let me shine
Watch me claim my sky
You forgot me once
Now I won’t break
I was never small
I was just erased
Let me shine, let me shine
I’m taking my place
[Outro]
Let me shine
Let me shine
I’m taking my place
