Verse 1 I was quiet for a little while Hid my shine and lost my smile Let the hard words hang around Like heavy rain that pulled me down But the clouds are moving out today I can feel the color on its way Piece by piece, my light comes through And I’m remembering what I can do Pre-Chorus They did not get the final say They do not get to take my brave Bit by bit, I’m coming back And I’m taking all my sparkle back Chorus I’m taking my sparkle back Every color, every laugh Every dream they tried to shake Every bright part they could not break I’m taking my sparkle back My shine, my joy, my heart intact Step by step, watch me glow Brighter than they’ll ever know Post-Chorus Sparkle back Shine on through Sparkle back Back to you Hands up high Heart attack of light I’m taking my sparkle back tonight Verse 2 Maybe healing looks like dancing hard Maybe singing in your room with stars Maybe calling all your power home And knowing you were never alone I’ve got kindness in my chest again Got my big brave smile back in What they threw does not define The gold that’s always still been mine Pre-Chorus They did not get the final say They do not get to take my brave Bit by bit, I’m coming back And I’m taking all my sparkle back Chorus I’m taking my sparkle back Every color, every laugh Every dream they tried to shake Every bright part they could not break I’m taking my sparkle back My shine, my joy, my heart intact Step by step, watch me glow Brighter than they’ll ever know Bridge If you lost your light for a little bit That does not mean that your light is quit If your smile got small from the things they said You can call it home, it is not dead So turn it up and lift your face You are still magic, still full of grace Every hurt kid, hear this track You can take your sparkle back Final Chorus I’m taking my sparkle back Every color, every laugh Every dream they tried to shake Every bright part they could not break I’m taking my sparkle back My shine, my joy, my heart intact Step by step, watch me glow Brighter than they’ll ever know Outro Sparkle back Here I come Light back on Look what I’ve become
