As a little girl on my mama’s knee
Steeped in the stories of Adam and Eve
Taught my sweet fruits would end in tragedy
And there was something wrong with me
Stay small, you’re worth less, your body is dangerous
You put your hands on me, then I’m the one that’s to confess
It is time to rewrite all these messages
Raise up from history to all I’m meant to be
No apologies, I am breaking free
Shine, shine with all my heart and soul this time
Show the world what I’m made of
Big and bright, in full sight, shining my light
Brilliantly, Boldly Alive
Face the shadows, cut through the noise
Stand tall, raise my voice
Take back my body, take back my choice
I’m here to change the story, can no longer ignore me
I am a woman of power and glory
Shine, shine with all my heart and soul this time
Show the world what I’m made of
Big and bright, in full sight, shining my light
Brilliantly, Boldly Alive
I am on fire now, burning thru fear and doubt
I’m embracing every part of me, and I’m gonna sing my heart out
Shine, Shine, Beautifully, Brilliantly, imperfectly, powerfully,
Tenderly, gratefully…alive
Brilliantly, boldly alive
