Forget your torment,
What should have been,
What's expected of you.
Face your fears,
Face your open future,
And remember the way that you shine.

(Your life is your own.)
The way that you shine. (You can take control.)
The way that you shine. (We don't want you to go.)
The way that you shine. (We don't want you to go.)

Be greatful that you have a brain for thinking
And legs to take you places.
You can do what you dream about,
Just believe in the way that you shine.

(Your life is your own.)
The way that you shine. (You can take control.)
The way that you shine. (We don't want you to go.)
The way that you shine. (We don't want you to go.)

If we all took our own lives
When living was troublesome,
We'd all be dead!

I know there's something that you love
That you'd rather not leave behind
The way that you shine

(Your life is your own.)
The way that you shine. (You can take control.)
The way that you shine. (We don't want you to go.)
The way that you shine. (We don't want you to go.)
