hey,what would you say   if i can't play the hero tonight   cos lately i've been feelin like   i can't get anything right      i've been fading into the woodwork again   And i been feelin like i just wanna hide   But guess what   I'm gonna try something just a little bit different this time      chorus   I'm gonna give myself permission to shine   I'm gonna shine so bright   gonna make every head wanna turn   you're finally gonna see me   Give myself   permission to shine   gonna light up the night   Shine a little of my light on the world      I've been crazy   I've been holding' myself back for so long   But I've got so much i can give   Don't wanna be afraid to be wrong      Well know I'm not too good at too many things   But I've been gettin ' real good at gettin down on my self   Well guess what   I'm gonna try and break free from this prison ive built      Chorus      oh ,that's right   I'm gonna try something just a little bit different this time      i'm gonna give myself permission to shine   I'm gonna shine so bright   gonna make every head wanna turn   You're finally gonna see me
