A mother told her son, “Dry your eyes.
You’re worth far more than you realize
Running yourself thin through endless night
Don’t give into them and lose your light
I see myself inside of you
Remember this is temporary too
Many times I have been confused
But my child, do not suffer fools
Don’t let ’em steal your shine
Be mindful of those who just waste your time
They tear at your heart
And they wear on your mind
I hope that you to know when to let them all go
Behind your mask, I know your eyes
Not every question must you to dignify
It’s time to do some things for you
To save your heart is a good excuse
Don’t let ’em steal your shine
Be mindful of those who just waste your time
They tear at your heart
And they wear on your mind
I hope that you to know when to let them all go
May you always know what you are worth
May you learn to take what you deserve
And when you wake, may you discern
That you’re lovely
Don’t let ’em steal your shine
Be mindful of those who just waste your time
They tear at your heart
And they wear on your mind
I hope that you to know when to let them all
Don’t let ’em steal your shine
Be mindful of those who just waste your time
They tear at your heart
And they weigh on your mind
I want you to know you can let them all go
Don’t let ’em steal your shine
Don’t let ’em steal your shine
Don’t let ’em steal your shine”
