Shine On – lyrics by Thandi Phoenix

I glisten and I beam
I know I am a queen
Not ever looking back
I’m focused on my path 
Day in day out
I’d pick up all the pieces
You’d run your mouth
I’d have to answer for it
Someway, somehow
You slipped through my defences
Lord knows what I was thinking

Suddenly I felt that I was coming to my senses
Cause all the time you left me here
Sitting second guessing
Finally I saw in to your superficial essence
Saw you just for who you are

What I’d give now to show you
What I give now to say
Having you round was poison
I’m in a better place
Steady I’m moving forward
I, shine on
I, shine on… I

Thought you had clout
To push me round so I
Gave in to my doubts
Knew how to take advantage
You kept me down
You love to feel important
Lord knows what I was thinking 
Suddenly I felt that I was coming to my senses
all the time you left me here
Sitting second guessing
Finally I saw in to your superficial essence
Saw you just for who you are 
I look in the mirror and I know my self worth
I glisten and I beam
Cause I know I am a queen
Not ever looking back now
I’m focused on my path
Floating like I’m in a dream 
What I give now to show you
What I give now to say
Having you round was poison
I’m in a better place
Steady I’m moving forward
I, shine on
I, shine on… I

I glisten and I beam
I know I am a queen
Not ever looking back
I’m focused on my path
