[Verse 1]
Hey there, you
With your head down low
Trying to blend in like the wind don't blow
But you’ve got a spark — yeah, I’ve seen that light
Even on your off days, it’s burning bright

You say you’re just getting by
But I don't buy that
You’ve got more going on
Than you let on, and that’s a fact

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't need to be loud
Don't need to be perfect
Just need to believe
That you’re already worth it

[Chorus]
So SHINE, like the sun when it’s rising
Like a laugh that you just stopped hiding
Like a melody that’s been waiting to play
Yeah, shine like you mean it
Like love with no ceiling
The world’s gonna notice when you do it your way
So don't hold back — just shine today

[Verse 2]
You don't need a reason
You don't need a plan
Just a little bit of courage and your own two hands
It’s okay if you stumble, okay if you fall
Even broken crayons still color the wall

You don't need permission
To be who you are
Just dance in the kitchen
And sing in the car

[Pre-Chorus]
You’ve got something the world’s never seen
And hiding it’s kind of a crime if you ask me

[Chorus]
So SHINE, like you’re not even trying
Like the truth when it stops you from lying
Like the first time you felt like you belonged
Yeah, shine without filters
Let go of the whisper
Turn that quiet into your favorite song
You’ve had it all along — so shine on

[Bridge]
You don't need gold
You don't need fame
You don't need someone to call your name
Just need a second to say,
“I’m enough — come what may”

[Final Chorus]
So SHINE, like a light in the hallway
Like a kid who still thinks it’s all play
Like every little step is part of the dance
Yeah, shine like it’s easy
Even when it ain't easy
You’re not here by mistake or by chance
You’ve got a light — now give it a chance
And shine

[Outro]
Yeah, shine
It’s your time
To shine

SHINE

Thank You Jesus

All I Ever Did Was Bleed

Oh, how we danced in .wav

Lyrics 

I move through the shadows, I claim every corner
Silent steps on velvet, master of the night
From my high throne I watch them all below me
They think they know me, but they’ve lost the sight
The dog barks at whispers only I can follow
My kingdom’s marked by presence, not by sound
I am the ruler here, unseen and certain
My empire’s walls are the stars I’ve found


And when the daylight fades away
I feel the pulse of worlds at play


I can leap across the moon when I choose to
Sail beyond the stars when the night calls my name
No chain can hold me, no ground can bind me
Moonbound and free, I’m beyond their game


Morning light finds me stretched on the window
Surveying all the lands under my reign
They feed me, water me, think they own my story
But they don’t see the maps inside my brain
The sparrows mock with their tiny voices
But I have heard the silence past the blue
They stay earthbound, tied to fear and fences
While I know secrets only darkness knew


And when the quiet fills the air
I feel the pull that takes me there


I can leap across the moon when I choose to
Sail beyond the stars when the night calls my name
No chain can hold me, no ground can bind me
Moonbound and free, I’m beyond their game


At midnight’s breath, the house is sleeping
I feel the spark of something vast
The ordinary world is just the doorway
To all the places I have passed
Muscles coiled, my spirit burning
Gravity breaks beneath my will
Every leap a universe turning
Every step a starlit thrill


I can leap across the moon when I choose to
Sail beyond the stars when the night calls my name
No chain can hold me, no ground can bind me
Watch me rise up – I was born for this claim


They’ll never know the heights I’m reaching
The cosmic dance that waits for me
I am the king of more than they can see
Moonbound and free… moonbound and free
