Hey, what would you say If i can't play the hero tonight Cos lately i've been feelin' like I can't get anything right I've been fading into the woodwork again And i'm feelin' 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 holdin' 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 gettin' real good at gettin' 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 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
