“Still shining”

Verse 1

I’ve danced with shadows, I’ve paid my dues

Worn heavy stories in borrowed shoes

Still here breathing, still standing tall

I lost a few pieces but not my soul

I’m learning my name in a kinder tone

Finding my way back, on my own

Scars don’t scare me, they just remind

I survived the storm and I’m still divine

Chorus

I love who I am, yeah I always will

Even bruised and healing, I’m shining still

Let ‘em talk, let ‘em stare, let ‘em misunderstand

I glow from the inside, don’t need their hand

I shine ‘cause I’m real, ‘cause I dared to be free

If my light makes you uncomfortable, that’s not on me

Verse 2

They say success makes people nervous, it’s true When you rise up just by being you I don’t dim my sparkle to make it okay

I worked too hard just to fade away

I bring hope in my walk, peace in my voice

Choosing joy like it’s always a choice

I’m not perfect, I’m present, I’m learning each day Bringing myself back in the softest way

Chorus

I love who I am, yeah I always will

Even bruised and healing, I’m shining still

Let ‘em talk, let ‘em stare, let ‘em misunderstand

I glow from the inside, don’t need their hand

I shine ‘cause I’m real, ‘cause I dared to be free

If my light makes you uncomfortable, that’s not on me

Outro

So here’s to the dreamers who made it through

Still smiling soft but strong and true

I’ll keep on shining, watch me rise

Sun in my heart, stars in my eyes
