Lyrics of

I mean to shine

	
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

[Chorus:]
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 seem so unreal
seemed so clear to me

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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.
