SHINE ON

[INTRO – whisper, drums slowly building]
They said, “Give up.”
They said, “You won’t make it.”
But I’m still standing.
And I won’t break it.
Heartbeat pounding like a war drum sound,
Every step I take says I’m still unbound.
[VERSE 1 – rhythmic, controlled intensity]
It ain’t about fame, it ain’t about gold,
It’s about standing tall when the night gets cold.
When life swings hard, trying to knock me down,
I rise from the dirt, I don’t kiss the ground.
They don’t envy things — they envy the flame,
The fire in my blood that won’t be tamed.
They don’t fear my goals or the words I say,
They fear that I move while they’re stuck in place.
Every scar on my skin is proof I fought,
Every loss in my life was a lesson taught.
I’m not made of stone — yeah, I feel that fear,
But the difference is I still step forward here.
[PRE-CHORUS – tension rising]
Let them watch, let them talk,
Let them count every fall.
My road, my choice,
My fire — my call.
[CHORUS – full explosion, gang vocals]
SHINE ON! — even when the wind blows strong!
SHINE ON! — don’t let them turn you off!
Don’t back down when the world says “stop,”
You’ve got the power — you’ve got the spark!
SHINE ON! — lift your head, stand tall!
SHINE ON! — this is your moment to call!
Even if you walk alone through the storm,
Your path is yours — and you were born strong!
[VERSE 2 – heavier, more aggressive]
Sleepless nights didn’t bury me deep,
Heavy doubts didn’t steal my belief.
From sweat and tears I built my wall,
Brick by brick — I gave it my all.
There’s fire in you — can you feel that heat?
That pulse in your chest when your heart skips a beat?
If your dreams make your blood run fast,
That’s your sign — you were built to last.
Don’t listen to voices afraid to try,
Their limits ain’t yours — let ‘em pass you by.
You’ve got the right to dream, to rise, to fight,
To claim your days and own your nights.
[PRE-CHORUS – stripped down, building again]
When the dark says, “You’re not enough,”
Answer back, “I’m built from tough.”
Your greatest weapon in the end
Is rising up again and again.
[BRIDGE – piano + vocal, emotional lift]
If you fall — stand up once more.
If you doubt — remember what for.
You’re not here just to survive,
There’s a brighter fire inside.
(Crowd chant: “Rise! Rise! Rise!”)
[FINAL CHORUS – key change, biggest energy]
SHINE ON! — let them see your light!
SHINE ON! — own your fight!
Don’t step back when your heart says run,
You’ve got the fire — you are the one!
SHINE ON! — hands up to the sky!
SHINE ON! — don’t question why!
What they tried to break in you
Is the power that will pull you through!
[OUTRO – a cappella + crowd]
Let them talk.
Let them stare.
Let them never understand.
You keep moving.
Keep believing.
And…
SHINE ON
