REMEMBER HOW TO SHINE

[Verse 1]
I was a quiet ache, hidden behind a smile,
Practiced and poised, but I felt out of style.
A soul in exile, lost in a game,
Searching for meaning, wondering why I felt shame.
Then your song came, not like a storm,
But gently like morning, transforming the norm.
It didn’t shout, wasn't loud or obscene,
Just stood there open, letting the Light intervene.
[Chorus]
Remember how to shine, in the shadow's embrace,
Dance with the echoes, let them find their place.
In the rhythm of the night, we’ll break every chain,
No more hiding away, just living free in the rain.
[Verse 2]
You never said I had to be brave,
Just told me to be honest, to find my own wave.
Not seeking perfection, just living in me,
And suddenly, that silence felt holy and free.
The tears I held back, they shimmered like gold,
In your presence found warmth that I’d never been told.
Your words didn’t fix me, they gently unbound,
I stood in your light, feeling lost but found.
[Chorus]
Remember how to shine, in the shadow's embrace,
Dance with the echoes, let them find their place.
In the rhythm of the night, we’ll break every chain,
No more hiding away, just living free in the rain.
[Bridge]
And I stood there bare, trembling as I became,
Not broken, but rising, learning my name.
The Light didn’t judge; it wrapped me in grace,
Reminded me gently of who I can face.
So if this is grace, this radiant undoing,
Let my heart sing again, spark the joy that’s renewing.
[Break]
Let the Light find me, let the darkness wane,
Dancing in the purple rain, forgetting the pain.
[Chorus]
Remember how to shine, in the shadow's embrace,
Dance with the echoes, let them find their place.
In the rhythm of the night, we’ll break every chain,
No more hiding away, just living free in the rain.
[Outro]
So sing it again, let it ring high and fine,
Until I forget how to hide, and only remember how to shine.
The silence I feared becomes my new song,
In the essence of Light, I’ve finally belonged.
