Don't Dim My Light

I got plans going places
Don't know where take my chances
Guess I'll know when I get there
I did some stuff can't erase it
Lost a dream but I won't chase it
I'll find a new one when I get there
But there's a shadow hanging over me
It won't let me be just what I wanna be
A shadow hanging over me
Trying to steal my spark so I can't see
Don't dim my light to make yours shine bright
The more you try to dim it the more I ignite
I won't dim my light to make yours shine bright
I'll shine all I want but you can hitch a ride
You still show up flip that switch and
Get your box that I won't fit in
Getting tired of your shadiness
And I know I can grow into my own
But you weigh me down just like a heavy stone
And now it's time to let it go
Don't dim my light to make yours shine bright
The more you try to dim it the more I ignite
I won't dim my light to make yours shine bright
Better close your eyes so you won't go blind
Ooooh go get out out of my way
Cause hey you're blocking my view
You know I wouldn't do that to you
I thought I'd give this a chance
And I tried to show you my way
But hey you keep shutting me down
Don't bring me down
You can't shut me down
Can't take me down
Don't dim my light to make yours shine bright
The more you try to dim it the more I ignite
I won't dim my light to make yours shine bright
I'll shine all I want but you can hitch a ride
Don't dim my light to make yours shine bright
The more you try to dim it the more I ignite
