Verse 1
My father is a watching under me
He's been watching for eternity
And I've done him proud but I'm moving on
Gonna take my chances in the morning sun
Chorus
And let it shine and shine
Shine on me
Let it shine and shine
Shine on me
I'll let the light shine
Shine on me
Let it shine and shine on me
Verse 2
I climbed my deepest sadness I sank down in my darkest fear
I swam through the abyss and I am standing right here
I took a wandering path around that straight and narrow trail
And I carved my initials in a tree with three nails
Verse 3
Well I showed my scars to a woman on the street
Yeah I swallowed my pride when there was nothing else to eat
I'll shake the hand of a stranger when the morning comes to greet
Oh I'll stand in the dawn and let it be my defeat
