Empowered

Is it ok to feel strong? Is it alright to feel empowered? Its so foreign after listening to other people for so long. I feel like I'm breaking out of a shell, ready to take on the world, ready to say 'what the hell' and just dive into life feet first. I feel wired, is this newfound strength like a drug? It's addictive, taking over my being. I'm worth something. I'm beautiful. I'm confident. I can take on the world.

Take a look at the mountain, Stretching a mile high
Take a look at the ocean, Far as your eye can see
And think of me

Take a look at the desert, Do you feel like a grain of sand?
I am with you wherever, Where you go is where I am
And I'm always thinking of you

Take a look around you, I'm spelling it out one by one

I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine and you shine for me too
I love you Yesterday And today And tomorrow
I'll say it again and again
I love you more

Just a face in the city, Just a tear on a crowded street
But you are one in a million, And you belong to me
And I want you to know, I'm not letting go
Even when you come undone

Shine for me, Shine for me
Shine on, shine on
Shine for me

And I see you, And I made you
And I love you more than you can imagine
More than you can fathom
I love you more than the sun
And you shine for me
