Shine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They will try to make you feel
That you're not good enough
You feel so incomplete
Don't let them change you
Show this whole world
that you were made to
Shine
They can't shut out your light
No matter how hard they try
They try but they never can win
Cuz they can't stop what's inside
They'll try to take you
Try to break you down
Remember you were born to shine
Don't let them make you think
That you're not pretty enough
no no no no
You're beauty runs so deep
So deep inside you you know
that's the reason why you
Shine
They can't shut out your light
No matter how hard they try
They try but they never can win
Cuz they can't stop what's inside
They'll try to take you
Try to break you down
Remember you were born to shine
There's a fire inside of you
That they can never ever understand
Take my light and burn
strong and bright cuz you will
Shine
They can't shut out your light
No matter how hard they try
They try (oh they try)
but they never can win
Cuz they can't stop what's inside
They'll try to take you
Try to break you down
Remember you were born to shine
x3
Your born to shine
