[Verse 1]

Every day I watch you

Out there in the light

Every day

I see you with your beautiful life

Doing all the things I want to

Doing all the things I've dreamed I'd do

You don't know how I've hoped and prayed

That maybe someday

Someday the chance will finally be mine

[Chorus]

To shine, shine

To step out of the shadows

And into the light

To shine, shine

To come out from the curtains

And start my life

Tell me

Will it ever be my turn?

To show the world

I'm ready

And it's my time to shine

[Verse 2]

Every day

I'm trying not to care

But every day

I'm thinking life's so unfair

Why am I the one who has to wait?

Why am I the one who always takes?

A backseat to somebody else's hopes and dreams?

It's only right

The chance should be mine

[Chorus]

To shine, shine

To step out of the shadows

And into the light

To shine, shine

To come out from the curtains

And start my life

Tell me will it ever

Be my turn

To show the world I'm ready

And it's my time

To shine...

[Bridge]

It's got to be room for me here

For me somewhere

There's got to be enough light for us all

For us all to shine

Don't we all deserve a chance?

One long awaited day

At last

Somewhere, somehow, sometime

[Chorus]

To shine, shine

Ohh, oh, oh

To shine, shine

To step out of the shadows

And into the light

To shine, shine

To come out from the curtains

And start my life

To shine, shine

To step out of the shadows

And into the light
