“Odreyi (Shining Through)”

Hey all! This is a song I wrote for my co-worker that I thought would be fun to write after getting to know her and having tons of laughs in office! It was!!!! I hope she likes it!!! Verse 1 There’s a quiet kind of power in the way you move Never loud, but you don’t got nothin’ left to prove Books in your hands, dreams in your eyes Chasin’ every goal like it’s your sunrise You don’t stop when the road gets steep Plant your roots and you rise up deep Every step, every scar you earn Is another page that you’ve turned Pre-Chorus Yeah, you carry more than most can see But you make it look so effortlessly Chorus Oh Odreyi, you’re shining through Every hard day just makes you you Strong heart, steady mind One of a one, impossible to find Oh Odreyi, you light the way Even when skies turn gray You don’t bend, you don’t break You give more than you take Verse 2 Got a whole world in your family tree Love runs deep, yeah it’s plain to see From laughter loud to late-night talks You carry them with you wherever you walk Little hands look up to you You’re the kind of soul they’ll grow into And even when you’re on your own You built a life that’s all your own Pre-Chorus Yeah, you balance grace with fire inside A heart that leads and a fearless stride Chorus Oh Odreyi, you’re shining through Every hard day just makes you you Strong heart, steady mind One of a one, impossible to find Oh Odreyi, you light the way Even when skies turn gray You don’t bend, you don’t break You give more than you take Bridge You treat yourself, yeah you earned that right Little things that make your world feel bright From city lights to a quiet meal You know exactly how to feel what’s real Caps and gowns, you’re almost there Degrees in hand, dreams in the air But this is just your opening scene Of everything you’re meant to be Final Chorus Oh Odreyi, you’re shining through Every dream is calling you Strong soul, wild and free Becoming all you’re meant to be Oh Odreyi, don’t ever change You’re rare in every single way From where you stand to where you go The whole world’s about to know
