For years and years I have been the shadow to your light
Always there while you shone like the sun.
I have always tried to shine, but you shone brighter
My soft, weak, delicate voice could not overpower yours
No one saw my light
No one saw all the things I could have gave them
All cause I was your shadow
Your star of talent always out shone mine
And you all know what happens when a star can't shine
It starts to die
It became a shadow to your sun
The spotlight was always on you
And I had to put my talents on the shelf
Cause no saw
no one cared
All they saw was you and your light
............................................................................................................................
But now it is my turn to shine
It is my turn to be recognized
People will finally see me
and all the things I could have done for them
They will see what they have missed out
But I won't be coming back to them
Cause they should have seen it earlier
They should not have let me down
They should not have made me worthless
They should have given me some chances
It is your turn to become the shadow
It is your turn to sit down
It is my turn to become the sun
I refuse to hide in the shadows
I refuse to put my talents on the shelf
I refuse to be the shadow of the spotlight
I will be heard
I will not be silenced
My once weak voice will ring across the nation
And everyone will remember my name

For years and years I have been the shadow to your light

Your star of talent always out shone mine
And you all know what happens when a star can't shine

It is my turn to become the sun
I refuse to hide in the shadows
I refuse to put my talents on the shelf
I refuse to be the shadow of the spotlight
I will be heard
I will not be silenced
My once weak voice will ring across the nation
And everyone will remember my name
