I've been standing in the afterglow
Of everything I used to know
The dust has settled, the scars still show
But I'm not scared to let it go
The fire's small, but it's burning still
And I'm learning how to trust my will
I'm learning how to shine again
To open up, to let light in
It took some time, it took the fall
To learn I can survive it all
I'm learning how to shine again
I've been walking through the quiet haze
Trying to find my better days
And now the mirror starts to show
Someone stronger than I've known
The fire's small, but it's burning still
And I'm learning how to trust my will
I'm learning how to shine again
To open up, to let light in
It took some time, it took the fall
To learn I can survive it all
I'm learning how to shine again
