The Dimming

I used to think
I had to be
A certain type of way
To make the faces
Smile on me
The clothes I wear
The words I speak
Do my make up
Like a closeup
On the TV screen
But there's a beat inside my chest
A drummer calling me to do my best
I ain't gonna dim my light for no one
Baby we were meant to shine forever
I ain't gonna dim my light for no one
Baby we got all we need
I see your head
Is hanging low low low
Doing all you can
To keep the spark inside your soul
Wish you could see
You like I do
You're original
You're powerful
You're something new
Can't wait to see
Just where you go
I do believe
You're gonna let them know
I ain't gonna dim my light for no one
Baby we were meant to shine forever
I ain't gonna dim my light for no one
Baby we got all we need
You are a supernatural being
You eat stardust for breakfast
Don't dim your light for no one
Gravity can't hold you
Time can't stop you
Don't dim your light for no one
