We’re all different
We’ve all got our story
Maybe you love her and she loves you
Maybe your family’s disowned you
Maybe you’ve lost your pride
Maybe your life’s a shit show
Maybe it’s all falling down
But that’s okay, you’ve got today
You’re still a rock star
Go ahead and fucking shine!
Maybe he’s your one and only
But the neighbors call you a fag
Maybe you’re still looking for that needle
Maybe you don’t believe in tomorrow
But baby, you’re important
You’re the goddamn apple of someone’s eye
So go ahead and fucking shine!
Maybe you’ve lost your job
Maybe you’re so buried in grief—
You wonder why you’re not the one in the casket
Maybe reality is a bitch
Maybe the mirror breaks every time you see yourself
Maybe you think that everything life ever told you is a lie
But you were born to run
Born to overcome
Born to give the doubters the finger
Born to rise from the debris
Go ahead and fucking shine!
Maybe you think it’s too late
But I’m here to tell you that it’s not
Maybe you think that everyone else can do it, but not you
But I’m here to tell you that you can
Maybe you think no one believes in you
But I do.
Maybe you think that no one will ever notice the light in your eyes
But I do.
Maybe you think that there’s too many broken pieces
But I have the glue
Maybe you think dreams are for those other people
But I’ve seen your dreams and they’re going to mend this world
So go ahead and fucking shine!
