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 
    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   
 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   
 To shine... Shine 
 To step out of the shadows and into the light 
 To shine... Shine 
 To come out from the curtains, and sun my life 
 Tell me will it ever 
 Be my turn 
 To show the world I'm ready 
 And it's my time   
 To shine... 
 It's got to be enough 
 For me here 
 Follow me somewhere 
 There's got to be enough 
 Why, for us all 
 For us all to shine 
 Don't we all deserve the chance 
 One long awaited day at last   
 Somewhere, somehow, sometime 
 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
