lyrics

Born to Let Our Brilliance Shine
(Words/Music by Knight/Winter)

It’s not that we fear our weakness
Fear that we’re not enough
It’s our power terrifies us
Stark fierceness of our love

Voice ot truth that echoes through us
Nothing that we can’t become
Taste ot limitless creation
Seeker and the muse are one

We were born to let our brilliance shine
Deeper than daydream
Dayglow my heart screams
We were born to let our brilliance shine

Yes, humility is noble
Humbly we are deceived
Who am I to be amazing
This is what I once believed

Playing small won’t serve the world
Nor will it save our souls
Life lived in screaming colors
This my most noble goal

We were born to let our brilliance shine
Deeper than daydream
Dayglow my heart screams
We were born to let our brilliance shine
