I've been demonized
Cut down with lies
Till I didn't recognize myself
Caged and shamed
Called every name
Tied in the sun and rain
Still I lived to tell
'Cause everything they threw at me
Only made me stronger
Nothing could shake my faith
I knew you'd find a way to
Shine for me
Shine for me
Like a star, in the dark
When our eyes, and our hearts
Look deep enough to see the truth
You shine for me
And I shine for you
Scars might be visible
But spirit's unbreakable
I'm overflowing full of love
I'll stand for all the rest
Who don't have a home yet
Best friends only dreamed of
And even when I'm gone from here
I will circle back
'Cause each end's a new beginning
And so today again, you
Shine for me
Shine for me
Like a star, in the dark
When our eyes, and our hearts
Look deep enough to see the truth
You shine for me
And I shine for you
I shine for you, you shine for me, I'll shine for you
