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 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 out on 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, oh, I mean to shine

As I look out on 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 out on the morning sun

I know I mean to shine
