Here comes another dawn
For every child to see
This time the morning sun
Is burning just for me
I've got the skyward eyes
Like I've never had before
Just smile and say goodbye
Show me to the door
For every one there comes a precious time
To break away
I mean to shine
Oh, I mean to shine
As I look at all the morning sun
I know I mean to shine
This day I realized
The world I knew is gone
New seasons come and change
The crown that stood upon
I've been afraid to feel
And scared of falling free
You said so I'm real
It seemed so clear to me
For everyone who breathes
There comes a time to fly away
I mean to shine
0h, I mean to shine
As I look at all the morning sun
I know I mean to shine
For everyone who breathes
There comes a time
To break away
I mean to shine
Oh, I mean to shine
As I look at all morning sun
I know I mean to shine.
