I'm gonna shine out like a beacon in the night
I'm gonna wrap my fingers round the stars tonight
Coz I'm taking it on
I'm taking it on
I can't keep hiding
I can't keep hiding
I can't keep running away
So I'm gonna be stronger
I'm gonna be understood
And I'm gonna give everything just to bring me back again
So I'm gonna be stronger
I'm gonna be better made.....
