Shine Brighter

Hold on tighter

You now have the right,

to send forth the light.

Child of the day you now are,

and at night, like shining star.

Shine brighter, shine brighter!

Hold tighter, hold tighter!

Cause' the world will try to shoot you down,

and dim your lights, steal your renown.

They'll call you a hypocrite,

and gossip and pitch a fit.

But, just stay true to your name and calling,

otherwise you'll find yourself withdrawing.

Ask him for more courageousness,

the more you ask, the more it is contagious.

Shine brighter, shine brighter!

Hold tighter, hold tighter!

One little star has great power in a vast universe,

one little star has great power through world's curse.
