[Verse 1]
I used to walk with shadows in my steps
Hiding dreams upon a dusty shelf
But I found a spark in the quiet night
And I held it close, ‘til it burned bright
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m not running, I’m not small
I’ve found the strength to stand through it all
[Chorus]
I’m shining now, I’m rising high
No more fading into the sky
Took my heart and made it whole
Painted fire in my soul
Can’t be dimmed, can’t be ignored
I’m burning brighter than before
[Verse 2]
I used to whisper songs I’d never sing
Afraid the world would never hear a thing
But the echo came back, soft and true
And it sounded just like something new
[Pre-Chorus]
I let go of fear, I let love in
And that’s where the light begins
[Chorus]
I’m shining now, I’m rising high
No more fading into the sky
Took my heart and made it whole
Painted fire in my soul
Can’t be dimmed, can’t be ignored
I’m burning brighter than before
[Bridge]
No more shadows, no more doubt
I’ve learned what I’m all about
This voice was meant to soar
And I won’t hide it anymore
[Final Chorus]
I’m shining now, I’m rising high
No more fading into the sky
Took my heart and made it whole
Painted fire in my soul
Can’t be dimmed, can’t be ignored
I’m burning brighter—
Brighter than before
