[Verse 1:] Every day I watch you Out there in the light Every day I see you with your beautiful life Doing all the things I want to Doing all the things I've dreamed I'd do You don't know how I've hoped and prayed That maybe someday Someday the chance will finally be mine [Chorus:] To shine, shine To step out of the shadows And into the light To shine, shine To come out from the curtains And start my life Tell me Will it ever be my turn? To show the world I'm ready And it's my time to shine [Verse 2:] Every day I'm trying not to care But every day I'm thinking life's so unfair Why am I the one who has to wait? Why am I the one who always takes? A backseat to somebody else's hopes and dreams? It's only right
The chance should be mine [Chorus:] To shine, shine To step out of the shadows And into the light To shine, shine To come out from the curtains And start my life Tell me will it ever Be my turn To show the world I'm ready And it's my time To shine... [Bridge:] It's got to be room for me here For me somewhere There's got to be enough light for us all For us all to shine Don't we all deserve a chance? One long awaited day At last Somewhere, somehow, sometime [Chorus:] To shine, shine Ohh, oh, oh To shine, shine To step out of the shadows And into the light To shine, shine To come out from the curtains And start my life To shine, shine To step out of the shadows And into the light
