Shine

You've held me up so I could be in the light.

Well, now honey it's your turn to shine.

So many years I've put you in the dark.

Now, it's time for you to make your mark.

Honey, let me down.

I'm giving you the crown.

So you can be in the light.

And, you will be lifted from your plights.

Baby, let me down.

I won't let you hit the ground.

You've already suffered, now it's time for you....

To shine.

Your heart is warmer than the autumn sun.

And, I will repay you for the things you've done.

You killed yourself just to keep my fire aglow.

There's some things you need to know.

Even though I let you down.

You still didn't let me see you frown.

You wore that smile again and again.

Until you lost your strength, and then.

You still held me to the sky.

You wouldn't let my spirit die.

I hope I can do the same too,

I hope I have as much strength as you.

I hope you see how much I care.

And how much I'm aware....

I'm aware of what you've done.

Where you've been.

Who you are.

And, I love you so.

I will hold you up,

As far as you can go.

You will touch the sky,

And, I will give you my wings to fly.

For, I'm giving you the crown.

It is your turn to shine.
