Still I Shine

Colette Chehova

Some of you fear me Talk about me like I'm some curse, You talk me down, rather be alone But still, like the sun, I’ll shine.

Do you fear the risk? Why do you not stay? You run like I’m the devil Trying to scare you away.

Just like a flower waiting to bloom, Give me time, And just like the sun, I’ll shine.

Do you think I want you to be broken? Heart shattered to pieces? Tears pouring down like rain, Staining your dress made of fleeces?

Does my presence scare you? Remind you of your past lover ‘Cause I want to help you rise like a dove And lead you to a lover you that you can uncover

Your brain may resent me, Your heart may yearn, Your soul may reach for me Because like the sun, I’ll shine

Do you feel as if I’ve shot you? Did I catch you by surprise With Cupid's arrow that strikes like a knife As it flies through the skies?

Out of your deep pit of sorrow I shine I will help you get through tomorrow I shine I’m a rising wave, glistening and proud, Making my presence clear and loud

Leaving behind happiness and pleasure I shine Into your lives lovingly I shine Bringing the gift of joy, I am the greatest dream you can enjoy. I shine I shine I shine.
