Sometimes the mirrors all too clear,
With all the whispers in your ear.
Well that magazines just telling you to lose another pound.
Work hard, don't have too much fun,
Don't look too old don't act too young.
Well you're wearing thin 'cause everybodies trying to bring you down.
Wipe the tears from your eyes.
You can change it all tonight,
Be yourself.
Yeah, and Shine!
Don't let them take your sun away.
Don't listen to the words they say.
Can't let anybody take away that smile.
Don't let them steal your dream away.
Cause even on those rainy days,
It's your world and nobody can shine like you.
What is real is what is not,
Only depends on what you've got.
Running 'round inside your head,
It's so hard it's hard to tell,
Will I hate myself today?
Or Will I find the strength to say?
God help me feel the freedom of the love inside myself.
Wipe the tears from your eyes.
You can change it all tonight,
Be yourself.
Yeah, and shine!
Don't let them take your sun away.
Don't listen to the words they say.
Can't let anybody take away that smile.
Don't let them steal your dream away.
'Cause even on those rainy days,
It's your world and nobody can shine like you.
Wipe the tears from your eyes,
You can change it ALL!
Yeah, and shine! Don't let them take your sun away.
Don't listen to the words the say.
Can't let anybody take away that smile!
Don't let them steal your dream away.
'Cause even on those rainy days,
It's your world and nobody can shine like you.
It's your world and nobody can shine like you!
When you told me I was special,
I needed it.
And the life you gave me,
I depended on.
You drew a picture in my head,
I saw it.
And without you in my dreams,
I'd be lost.
Standing here with a promise.
That I made a long time ago.
If I make it, if I dont,
If I never move an inch I know it'll be because of me.
If I try, or if I doubt,
If I chose to love or hate myself it'll be because of me.
And now the only thing I know thats true,
It won't be for you.
When I told you that I needed you,
You used it.
And when I tried to find myself,
You abandoned,
Everything you ever said,
Or promised.
Well here's a love you should never leave,
Or you'll be lost,
Standing there with a promise.
That you made along time ago.
If I make it, if I don't.
If I never move an inch I know it'll be because of me.
And if I try, or if I doubt.
If I chose to love or hate myself it'll be because of me.
And now the only thing I know that's true,
It won't be for you.
It won't be because you want it,
Cause I deserve it.
Because you gave it,
Oh I will take it,
Higher than any power you hold over me.
You hold over me.
And if I make it, if I don't.
If I never move an inch,
It'll be because of me.
And if I try, or if I doubt.
If I chose to love or hate myself,
It'll be because of me.
And now the only thing I know that's true.
Yeah, the only thing I know that's true....
It won't be for you.
