Mmm
They don't want me to shine
They'd rather watch my decline
Cuz if I shine
The light's too bright
And makes their minds go blind
It started long ago-oh oh
As my light began to grow-oh
They wouldn't understand
The light I chose to throw-oh
I threw it anyway-ay
And some considered play-ay
The power filled me up
Until their clouds took it away-ay
To shine
Or not to shine
That is the question
To shine
Or not to shine
I'll rise above the oppression
To shine
Or not to shine
That is the question
To shine
Or not to shine
I'll live my life with expression
To Shine
To Shine
Oh-oh
Oh
Some still choose cold than war-orm
As jealously controls their for-orm
Yet it will only fade away-ay
As my light gets in their way-ay
I understand their fear-ears
As ego grabs and tear-ars
But is it right to take the light
Of someone's fate who dare-ares
To shine
Or not to shine
That is the question
To shine
Or not to shine
I'll rise above the rejection
To shine
Or not to shine
That is the question
To shine
Or not to shine
I'll live my life with intention
To Shine
To Shine
Oh-oh
Oh
Oh
Some will open their minds
While others run and hide
But the ones who choose my light
Will only shine more bright
To shine
Or not to shine
That is the question
To shine
Or not to shine
My life is a celebration
To shine
Or not to shine
That is the question
To shine
Or not to shine
My life is a revelation
That is the question
To shine
A true celebration
A true revelation
Oh-oh
That is the question
To shine
A true celebration
A true revelation
Oh-oh
To shine
