    Bring it on, my heart is strong
    There’s nothin’ I won’t do
    Try to knock me down, I’ll scorch the ground
    The smoke will be my proof

    You thought you stole
    My fire my soul
    What you don’t understand
    Is that a pressure builds, but I’m here still
    Like diamonds in the sand

    I glow, like fireflies in the dark
    And I know, that even when life is hard

    I’m shinin’ like a supernova
    With my hands up high and my heart wide open
    So turn off the lights
    I shine even more bright, like a diamond

    Brush that fear right off my shoulder
    I told ya, now I’m ’bout to show ya
    So turn off the lights
    I shine even more bright, like a diamond

    In the night (Betrayed)
    So turn off the lights
    Shine even more bright, like a diamond

    Eyes on me, ’cause I believe
    I’m exactly where I’m meant to be
    Young and free, powerfully
    I open doors that are meant for me
    They’re made for me

    I glow like fireflies in the dark
    And I know, that even when life is hard

    I’m shinin’ like a supernova
    With my hands up high and my heart wide open
    So turn off the lights
    I shine even more bright, like a diamond

    Brush that fear right off my shoulder
    I told ya, now I’m ’bout to show ya
    So turn off the lights
    I shine even more bright, like a diamond

    In the night (Betrayed)
    So turn off the lights
    Shine even more bright, like a diamond

    In the night (Betrayed)
    So turn off the lights
    Shine even more bright, like a diamond
