Shine
This anthem of self-empowerment takes the classic "Bo Diddley" beat and gives it an updated pop sound, highlighted by sparkling synthscapes and lively percussion. The vocals begin with an alto soloist in a full belt, communicating the song's message with power and confidence. The choir takes over at the chorus, with lyrics inspired by Romeo's soliloquy when he first sees Juliet. Versatile and unique, "Shine" could work in multiple show functions, or as a pops concert opener!

Don't look directly at this light The past is gone, the future's bright I'm tired of waiting for the light to turn green It's getting cold in your shadow now I need to be seen I'm ready, ready to rise Get ready, shield your eyes Ain't nothing but blue skies today Hey, it was a long, long night Now there's a brand new light on the horizon Rising clear and bright Just like Juliet First time you see me guarantee you won't forget I gotta glow, I gotta show my luminosity More than a curiosity Cause I'm gonna teach the sun how to shine The sun how to shine Now is my time I'm gonna teach the sun how to shine! Get ready to rise Open up your eyes Look to the horizon We're gonna be risin' Get ready to rise Open up your eyes Look to the horizon We're gonna be risin' Gonna shine... Just like Juliet First time you see me guarantee you won't forget I gotta glow, I gotta show my luminosity More than a curiosity 'Cause I'm gonna teach the sun how to shine The sun how to shine Now is my time I'm ready to rise I'm ready to shine!
