Every Living Thing Wants to Shine Lyrics

One morning I awoke as the sun raised her head and broke

Upon the sleeping world in quiet splendor

Oh, what a sight, in the prism of that living light

And time stood still in sweet surrender

And bathed in the dawn all questions I had were gone

The answers understood, there were no noises

But the whisper of the trees, the mountains they sang to me

Everything alive, I heard their voices

Do you believe in the magic of one perfect moment

When the world stops its spinning and all becomes clear

Can you feel when you're in it? Can you see when you're shown it

When you stop to listen, what do you hear

Every living thing is waiting for its time to shine

Every living thing is waiting for the springtime

Every songbird wants to be heard

Every living thing wants to shine

Yesterday I tried, I laughed so hard I cried

I searched so long, what did I discover

The truth? Oh no, many miles more to go

But now I feel the comfort of a lover

When I look to the hills, the mountains and the still

Places of my heart; I listen

In harmony, the breezes blowing through the trees

They sing to me and I listen

Do you believe that these trees bear fruit for the ages

Do you believe that these mountains share the strength in our bones

Do you believe that we all hold the key to our own cages

Have you heard the voices singing, calling you home

Every living thing is waiting for its time to shine

Every living thing is waiting for the springtime

Every songbird wants to be heard

Every living thing wants to shine
