Permission To Shine

Hey, what would you say

If I can't play the hero tonight

'Cause lately I've been feelin' like

I can't get anything right

I've been fading into the woodwork again

And I've been feelin' like I just wanna hide

But guess what

I'm gonna try something just a little bit different this time

I'm gonna give myself permission to shine

I'm gonna shine so bright

Gonna make every head wanna turn

You're finally gonna see me

Give myself permission to shine

Gonna light up the night

Shine a little of my light on the world

I've been crazy

I've been holdin' myself back for so long

But I've got so much I can give

Don't wanna be afraid to be wrong

You know I'm not too good at too many things

But I've been gettin' real good at gettin' down on myself

But guess what

I'm gonna try to break free from this prison I've built

I'm gonna give myself permission to shine

I'm gonna shine so bright

Gonna make every head wanna turn

You're finally gonna see me

Give myself permission to shine

Gonna light up the night

Shine a little of my light on the world

Shine a little of my light on the world

Shine a little of my light on the world (Shine, shine, shine)

Oh, that's right

I'm gonna try something just a little bit different this time

I'm gonna give myself permission to shine

I'm gonna shine so bright

Gonna make every head wanna turn

You're finally gonna see me

Give myself permission to shine

I wanna light up the night

Shine a little of my light on the world (Give myself permission to shine)

I'm gonna light up the night

Shine a little of my light on the world

Shine a little of my light on the world

Shine a little of my light on the world

Shine, shine bright, shine, shine

Shine a little of my light on the world

Give myself permission to shine, shine, shine
