《Unmask Me (Let Me Shine)》

I’ve been walking with my quiet ways, smiling through the dawn,
Hiding every trembling thought, afraid to show what’s wrong.
I keep my feelings folded like a letter never sent,
Hoping someone sees the lines I never meant to bend.

But even gentle hearts deserve a little light,
And even silent souls can still be brave tonight.

So unmask me, let me shine,
I’ve been waiting for my time.
If I’m doing what is kind and never hurting anyone,
Maybe I can finally cross that line.
Unmask me, let me breathe,
Let my heart speak softly, honestly.
I’ve been holding back too long—
Now I’m learning I belong—
Unmask me… let me shine.

I’ve been careful not to trouble anyone but me,
Quiet as a falling leaf that no one stops to see.
But I dream of gentle arms that catch me when I break,
Of someone hearing truths I barely dare to say.

And maybe every tear can be a place to start,
A quiet courage blooming in my heart.

So unmask me, let me shine…

Maybe courage isn’t loud; maybe it’s the way I stay,
When the fears inside are rising like a tide I can’t escape.
If I fall, I’ll find my way, reaching for the light of day,
And maybe then… I’ll know I’m not too late.

Unmask me, let me shine,
I’m not afraid of who I’ll find.
If I’m gentle, if I’m true, and keep on choosing what is right,
Maybe I’ll step past every line.
Unmask me, set me free,
This is who I’m meant, at last, to be.
I won’t hide my heart away—
I grow braver every day—
Unmask me… let me shine.
