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 been feelin like i just wanna hide
But guess what
I'm gonna try something just a little bit different this time

chorus
I' 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 holding' myself back for so long
But I've got so much i can give
Don't wanna be afraid to be wrong

Well know I'm not too good at too many things
But I've been gettin ' real good at gettin down on my self
Well guess what
I'm gonna try and break free from this prison ive built

Chorus

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
