I Mean to Shine
Embracing Change: I Mean to Shine
Lyrics
Here comes another dawn
Anticipation of a new day
For every child to see
Universal experience for every child
This time the morning sun
The sun rises specifically for the singer
Is burning just for me
A personal connection with the morning sun
I've got the skyward eyes
A heightened sense of awareness and optimism
Like I've never had before
An elevated perspective never felt before
Just smile and say goodbye
Farewell with a positive attitude
Show me to the door
A request to be shown the way out
For every one there comes a precious time
A recognition of a significant moment for everyone
To break away
A determination to break free from the norm
I mean to shine
A commitment to stand out and succeed
Oh, I mean to shine
Reaffirmation of the commitment to shine
As I look at all the morning sun
Observation of the morning sun symbolizing opportunities
I know I mean to shine
Confidence in one's ability to shine
This day I realized
A realization of significant change in the singer's world
The world I knew is gone
Acceptance of the inevitability of change
New seasons come and change
Recognition of the cyclical nature of life
The crown that stood upon
A metaphorical reference to a previous status or achievement
I've been afraid to feel
Admission of fear of experiencing emotions
And scared of falling free
Fear of embracing freedom
You said so I'm real
Validation from someone else about the singer's reality
It seemed so clear to me
Clarity in understanding
For everyone who breathes
A universal truth about the need for growth
There comes a time to fly away
A recognition of the inevitability of change and progress
I mean to shine
Restating the commitment to shine
0h, I mean to shine
Reaffirmation of the singer's determination
As I look at all the morning sun
Continued acknowledgment of the morning sun
I know I mean to shine
Confidence in the intention to shine
For everyone who breathes
Reiteration of the universal truth about growth
There comes a time
Emphasis on the inevitability of breaking away
To break away
A renewed commitment to stand out
I mean to shine
Reaffirmation of the determination to shine
Oh, I mean to shine
Confirmation of the commitment to shine brightly
As I look at all morning sun
Continued observation of the morning sun
I know I mean to shine.
Confidence in the singer's ability to shine
