Title: “Shine Through” [Verse 1] The mirror whispers shadows, But I won’t believe the lies. Every scar’s a story That taught me how to rise. I’ve been broken, I’ve been fragile, But I’m stronger than I know. Even when the night is heavy, My light still finds a glow. [Chorus] I shine through, I shine true, No matter what they say or do. Every tear that’s ever fallen Built the colors of my view. I shine through, I shine true, The world can try to dim my hue, But nothing takes away the fire— The beauty lives in me, not you. [Verse 2] Words can cut like thunder, But they cannot break my skin. I am more than their reflection, My strength is born within. So I’ll sing it to the silence, I’ll scream it to the skies: Even in the deepest sorrow, Hope will never die. [Chorus] I shine through, I shine true, No matter what they say or do. Every tear that’s ever fallen Built the colors of my view. I shine through, I shine true, The world can try to dim my hue, But nothing takes away the fire— The beauty lives in me, not you. [Bridge] Every flaw’s a diamond, Every bruise becomes a song. I was never less than worthy, I was radiant all along. [Final Chorus] I shine through, I shine true, No matter what they say or do. Every storm I’ve walked right through Made me brighter, made me new. I shine through, I shine true, And finally, I believe it too. The beauty I’ve been searching for— Was always here in view.
