Lyrics
I WANT TO SHINE
(V1)
This is the moment and I won't let it slip away
The one fate has chosen, but I am not afraid
All those silent dreams that brought me here tonight
Are bursting out like a shooting star and my sparks turn into light
But I'm alright. Cause destiny has led me to this moment in my life.
(CH)
I want to shine, I want to shine, I want to shine
I want to shine, I want to shine, I want to shine
(V2)
You don't know how deep it runs, the way it cuts right through my soul
You can't tell how far I've come, until you've traveled down my road
I had to climb the highest mountain, and cross the deep blue sea
And as I watched the rising sun, I felt its light take over me
Now I see. That destiny has lead me to this moment of my dreams.
(CH)
I want to shine, I want to shine, I want to shine
I want to shine, I want to shine, I want to shine
(Bridge)
When shadows fall and this day comes to an end
If you need a little light, I can burn bright again
(V3)
This is the moment and I won't let it fade away
The one fate has chosen, but I am not afraid
(CH)
I want to shine, I want to shine, I want to shine
I want to shine, I want to shine, I want to shine
I want to shine, I want to shine, I want to shine
I want to shine, I want to shine, I want to shine
