Just like an ember grows it way to become a fire
You are the light that lights up your own life
That's right, I light up my own life
I am the one who lights the way
And i am not running away
I'm sick and tired of trying to reach for something
When that something is you, yourself
You need a reason to see right through
And I may never know what I'm capable of
Unless I try to shine right through
And you may never know what it's like to believe
Unless you deface yourself
Open your heart and see what it's like to believe
You have a fire burning of you
What separates you from me
I'm not the average kid on the wall
I'm the average kid who's willing to risk it all
You hold the keys to the kingdom
You hold the answers you're looking for
You have a heart like none other
And you have the will to prove it all
(You need a reason to see right through)
And I may never know what I'm capable of
Unless I try to shine right through
And you may never know what it's like to believe
Unless you deface yourself
Open your heart and see what it's like to believe
You have a fire burning of you
We only or together now
Can become anything stronger than the world has in store for us
I don't want you changing for the sake of me
I want you to change
This is what it's like to believe
Shine on
Shine on
And carve your own path
This world is yours
Just remember to shine on
