*SONG FROM THE ARCHIVES* I'm releasing this 2015 original on Sound today to celebrate Sound's announcement that it is open to all artists! I wrote and produced this song 8 years ago and it was the first song I did where I decided to start attempting to release music as an independent solo artist. I wanted to create something upbeat and uplifting. -- They keep talkin All you hear is that song on the radio No they don't believe They'll have to see You do the impossible And haters' sayin "Oh You shootin for the stars? Who do you think you are?" You hear them saying "Oh" They can try to stop you now They all can count you out But they're in for it, oh Don't you ever forget what you were made To be here for now Don't you forget that you're incredible And don't ever hide it Shine, shine your light And let it burn bright, brighter Shine your light And let it burn bright, bright, brighter Cold gaze from the faces of those stuck in their fantasies They can dream, but they do nothin And they’ll try to bring you down They’ll try to shut you out And haters' sayin "Oh You shootin for the stars? Who do you think you are?" You hear them saying "Oh" They can try to stop you now They all can count you out But they're in for it, oh Don't you ever forget what you were made To be here for now Don't you forget that you're incredible And don't ever hide it Shine, shine your light And let it burn bright, brighter Shine your light And let it burn bright, bright, brighter
