Shine Lyrics

Standing here in the rain,

I can see the water soaking through

The holes in your shoes

And turn your mind from the storm,

Picture somewhere safe where it’s soft and warm

I’m waiting here, under dim streetlight

Orange dances around in your empty eyes

And I can see straight into your soul,

Feeling oh-so-lost and out of control

Oh, shine if your heart tells you to,

Then who are you to question it?

Shine if the world gets you down,

Don’t be afraid to wrestle it

Shine, you have your whole life ahead of you,

Come make a mess of it

Shine if your heart tells you to,

Then who are you to question it?

Who are you to question it?

Tired now, feeling scared,

Unfamiliar light floods into the room,

You have woken to hopeful eyes looking out as you wait too long, hiding

tears of doubt

Not holding back as you realize your abandonment,

Your being cast aside

And I can see straight into your soul,

Feeling oh-so-lost and out of control

Oh, shine if your heart tells you to,

Then who are you to question it?

Shine if the world gets you down,

Don’t be afraid to wrestle it

Shine, you have your whole life ahead of you,

Come make a mess of it

Shine if your heart tells you to,

Then who are you to question it?

Who are you to question it?

Hold my hand when the lights go dark

And you’re feeling scared but no one understands,

whoa

Keep your head up, and don’t look down

I’ll guide your steps to keep you on the ground,

whoa

Your love is strong, and they just don’t deserve

to choose where you belong

Shine if your heart tells you to,

Then who are you to question it?

Shine if the world gets you down,

Don’t be afraid to wrestle it

Shine, you have your whole life ahead of you,

Come make a mess of it

Shine if your heart tells you to,

Then who are you to question it?

Who are you to question it?
