See my smile, best night of my life,
but I look at myself and I'm still the same as I always was
See my smile, will it fade or stay
But the birds outside and the kids that hide won't wonder either way

Crush the stars that shine above my swollen head tonight
Push my mind beside me to a strong and brighter light
Is is true that I will need you to make me strong
Or do I wear my crown

Shinin', Smilin', Shinin', but I'm feelin' it all again

All I want is what others want
I am no better than anyone else
Love and friend, a pretty day, and the will to love myself
I can make a million poses, and I smell like roses
But I'm still the same, still the same as I always was

Crush the stars that shine above my swollen head tonight
Push my mind beside me to a strong and brighter light
Is is true that I will need you to make me strong
Or do I wear my crown

Shinin', Smilin', Shinin', but I'm feelin' it all again

See my smile, best night of my life
But I look at myself and I'm still the same as I always was
I do it 'cause I love it, then life keeps going on
The sun always sets, the sun always sets after it rises

Shinin', Smilin', Shinin', but I'm feelin' it all again
