I Mean To Shine Lyrics

Here comes another dawn
For every child to see
This time the morning sun
Is burning just for me
I’ve got the skyward eyes
Like I've never had before
Just smile and say goodbye
Show me to the door
For every one there comes a precious time
To break away
I mean to shine
Oh, I mean to shine
As I look at all the morning sun
I know I mean to shine
This day I realized
The world I knew is gone
New seasons come and change
The crown that stood upon
I've been afraid to feel
And scared of falling free
You said so I’m real
It seemed so clear to me
For everyone who breathes
There comes a time to fly away
I mean to shine
0h, I mean to shine
As I look at all the morning sun
I know I mean to shine
For everyone who breathes
There comes a time
To break away
I mean to shine
Oh, I mean to shine
As I look at all morning sun
I know I mean to shine.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
