Permission To Shine

Hey, what would you say
If I can't play the hero tonight?
'Cause lately I've been feeling like
I can't get anything right

I've been fading into the woodwork again
And I'm feeling like I just wanna hide
But guess what, I'm gonna try something
Just a little bit different this time

I'm gonna give myself permission to shine
I'm gonna shine so bright
Gonna make every head wanna turn
You're finally gonna see me

Give myself permission to shine
Gonna light up the night
Shine a little of my light on the world

I've been crazy
I've been holding myself back for so long
But I've got so much I can give
Don't wanna be afraid to be wrong

You know I'm not too good at too many things
But I've been getting real good at getting down on myself
But guess what, I'm gonna try to break free
From this prison I've built

I'm gonna give myself permission to shine
I'm gonna shine so bright
Gonna make every head wanna turn
You're finally gonna see me

Give myself permission to shine
Gonna light up the night
Shine a little of my light on the world
Shine a little of my light on the world
Shine a little of my light on the world
Shine, shine, shine

Oh, that's right
I'm gonna try something
Just a little bit different this time

I'm gonna give myself permission to shine
I'm gonna shine so bright
Gonna make every head wanna turn
You're finally gonna see me

Give myself permission to shine
Gonna light up the night
Shine a little of my light on the world

(Give myself permission to shine)
I wanna light up the night
Shine a little of my light on the world
