They’ll try to make you feel, that you’re not good enough
You feel so incomplete, don’t let them change you
Show this whole world that you were made to

Shine, they can’t shut out your light, no matter how hard they try
They try, but they never can win, cause they can’t stop what’s inside
They’ll try to take you, try to break you down, remember you are born to shine

Don’t let them make you think, that you’re not pretty enough
You’re beauty runs so deep, so deep inside you
And you know that’s the reason why you

Shine, they can’t shut out your light, no matter how hard they try
They try, but they never can win, cause they can’t stop what’s inside
They’ll try to take you, try to break you down, remember you are born to shine

There’s a fire inside of you, that they can never, ever understand
Take that light and burn strong and bright and

Shine, they can’t shut out your light, no matter how hard they try
They try, but they never can win, cause they can’t stop what’s inside
They’ll try to take you, try to break you down, remember you are born to shine
They’ll try to take you, try to break you down, remember you are born to shine
They’ll try to take you, try to break you down, remember you are born to shine

You’re born to (shine) you’re born to (shine) said you’re born to (shine)
You’re born to (shine) you’re born to (I said shine) you’re born to (shine)
You’re born to, you’re born to, you’re born to, you’re born to, you’re born to
