Shine
Worth Breaking: Unveiling the Journey to Shine
Lyrics
Look at you now, tired little runaway
Observing someone who used to run away, now appearing tired and worn.
Your head in your hands thinking of a better day
The person is deep in thought, perhaps reminiscing about a better time.
You couldn't be king in spite of your praying
Despite prayers, the person couldn't achieve a position of power or significance.
And the angels won't sing when it's God that you're playing
Playing God has consequences, and divine support is absent in such actions.
Just to see you shine, see you shine
Expressing a desire to witness the person thriving and succeeding.
Just to see you shine, see you shine
-Here I am now standing in your wasteland
The singer finds themselves in the person's challenging and desolate situation.
Running in place, sinking in your quicksand
The person is stuck, making no progress and sinking in difficulties.
When you finally come down and see what you have taken
Anticipating the person realizing the consequences of their actions and acquisitions.
You've got your crown, was it all worth breaking?
Questioning if the achieved status and crown were worth the brokenness caused.
Just to see you shine, see you shine
Reiterating the desire to witness the person shining and succeeding.
Just to see you shine, see you shine
-The mighty fall
Commenting on the universal truth that even the mighty experience downfall.
Oh, don't we all?
Reflecting on the shared experience of facing challenges and setbacks.
Just to see you shine, see you shine
Continuing the wish to see the person thriving and shining.
Just to see you shine, see you shine
-Just to see you shine, see you shine
Reiterating the hope to witness the person's success and radiance.
Just to see you shine, see you shine
