What If I 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.
I spend too much time thinking about
Who I'm supposed to be
I play by everybody's rules
That don't seem right to me
I'm cool and polite
On the outside
When I get a chance
I run and I hide
If your eyes are closed
It's hard to see
What if I back down now
'Cause I'm afraid of what might happen
What if they turn away
When I show them who I truly am
What if I lose my breath
When I throw those big doors open
Or tonight, just tonight
What if I shine?
Should I even care?
They're all sitting there
And everyone's staring at me
If I step out in the spotlight
Maybe I'll be set free
What if I back down now
'Cause I'm afraid of what might happen
What if they turn away
When I show them who I truly am
What if I lose my breath
When I throw those big doors open
Or tonight, just tonight
What if I shine? (I shine)
I spend too much time thinking about
Who I'm supposed to be
But what if I sing out loud?
Because anything can happen
What if I stand up proud
And show them who I truly am?
They're gonna call my name
And I'll throw these big doors open
'Cause tonight, just tonight
I'm gonna shine (I shine)
