Shine Brighter (the "Preaching To The Choir" version)

[Intro] [Soulful isolated vocals] You can't take this light I've been shin'in my whole life way before you way before them [Verse 1] [soulful and reflective] Reality's a friend of mine. She's harsh. She's cruel. I numb myself to take some time, But I know the rules [Verse 2] [soulful and determined] the sun's on my skin I feel it's burn reminds me that I'm alive and it's my turn [instrumental break 2 bars] [Pre-Chorus] [HOOK] You can't take this light I've been shin'in my whole life way before you way before them [Chorus] [HOOK] I'm shining bright Brighter than they've ever seen Brighter than the moon. Brighter than the stars. Brighter than the sun. I'll let them think they won (I'll let them think they won) [Verse 3] Did I displease you by standing my ground? I move quietly, no need to make sounds. The frequency is high and so are you Dependent on illusions, cause the truth's too hard to chew [Interlude] [Bridge] You think I've changed, but you never knew Too caught up in dreams To see what's really true If it happens all the time, the problem might be you. It's hard to see what's in your face. I'm ride or die, can't be replaced [Pre-Chorus] [HOOK] You can't take this light I've been shin'in my whole life way before you way before them [Chorus] [HOOK] I'm shining bright Brighter than they've ever seen Brighter than the moon. Brighter than the stars. Brighter than the sun. I'll let them think they won (I'll let them think they won) [Outro] [Pre-Chorus] [Clapping and choir like] [HOOK] You can't take this light I've been shin'in my whole life way before you way before them [Chorus] [HOOK] I'm shining bright Brighter than they've ever seen Brighter than the moon. Brighter than the stars. Brighter than the sun. I'll let them think they won (I'll let them think they won) [Fade Out] [End]
