[Intro – soft strings, glowing harp] (Hush… breathe in…) A new dawn waits for you… [Verse 1 – Unsure] Lately I’ve been walking halls that echo back my name, But every step feels heavier, like I’m not meant to reign. The crown is warm upon my head, but cold beneath my skin— I wonder if I’m ready for the world I’m stepping in. I try to smile so no one sees the questions in my eyes, But doubt can feel like shadows trying hard to rise. If destiny’s a calling, why does mine feel undefined? Why am I so afraid to stand… and shine? [Verse 2 – gentle, reassuring] You carry weight you shouldn’t bear alone upon your heart, But every leader learns their strength the moment they must start. You’re seeing only emptiness where promise lies instead, You fear the path before you, not the light that you will spread. [Pre-Chorus – harmonies] The world will never ask you to be someone you are not— It only asks you trust yourself a little more than you thought. [Chorus – Full, uplifting harmony] You were meant to shine— Even when the road feels uncertain, tangled, unclear. You were meant to rise— Brave through the doubt and all you hold dear. Every spark within your soul was placed there by design… You’re not behind— You were meant to shine. [Verse 3 – wise, warm] When I first wore my own crown, fear whispered I would fall, But courage grows in quiet rooms before it conquers all. The truth is every ruler once stood trembling in your place— Unsure they’d ever find their wings, unsure they’d win the race. Yet look at us—we stand here now, not perfect, but refined, By every tear and triumph we encountered over time. And you, dear one, already glow far brighter than you know… Just let it show. [Pre-Chorus – Trio, soft build] We see your fire rising like a promise in the night— You doubt your steps, but we can see them shining bright. [Chorus – Full, regal] You were meant to shine— Meant for the moment when all eyes turn to you. You were meant to rise— Even when you feel unsure of what to do. Every fear you try to hide is part of your design… Just take your time— You were meant to shine. [Bridge – Emotional, soaring] But what if I’m not ready? What if I break apart? Then we will stand beside you, guarding every fragile part. What if I choose wrong? What if I lose my way? Then trust that we will guide you— Both tomorrow and today. (All together) You’re not alone, not ever—your strength and ours entwine… Together we’ll align… [Final Chorus – Triumphant, warm, iconic] You were meant to shine— Open your wings and lift your heart to the skies. You were meant to rise— Even if you stumble as you learn to fly. This destiny before you isn’t borrowed, isn’t assigned— It’s truly yours to claim in time… You were meant to shine. [Outro – gentle harp, final harmony] Shine… The world is waiting… Shine.

You Were Meant to Shine
