This old world beats you down,
I don't know where you find the strength, Baby,
To go another day.
And you are last to complain,
Even when everything you loved is gone, taken away
Still, you refuse to live in fear of falling,
And you refuse to ever place the blame.
Refrain:
Every time you feel the heat,
You stand strong, and not defeated.
Every heartbreak seems to make you shine.
Life can be hard, you need to bring it.
And life is a song you need to sing.
I want everyone to see you shine.
I can't help but be amazed,
At your courage in this fight, my baby
As the time ticks away.
When I ask if you're afraid,
You gently wipe away my tears and say
"Daddy, soon I'll be going home"
And in your eyes, you see beyond tomorrow
While the rest cannot see life past today
And the rest of us can't see past today
Refrain:
Every time you feel the heat
You stand strong, and not defeated
Every heartbreak seems to make you shine
Life can be hard, you need to bring it
And Life is a song you need to sing
I want everyone to see you shine
When the storm is at it's fiercest, you only see the shore
And with broken wings you find a way to soar
When life has you trapped inside, you open up the door
You shine, right from inside
Refrain:
Every time you feel the heat
You stand strong, and not defeated
Every heartbreak seems to make you shine
Life can be hard; you need to bring it
And Life is a song you need to sing
I want everyone to see you shine
