Shine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Standing here in the rain
I can see the water soaking through the holes in your shoes
Turn your mind from the storm
Picture somewhere safe where it's soft and warm
And waiting here, under dim street light
Orange dances around in your empty eyes
And I can see straight into your soul
Feeling oh so lost and out of control
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, can't 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 alone, hiding tears of doubt
Now holding back as you realise
Sure abandonment, you'll be cast aside
And I can see straight into your soul
Feeling oh so lost and out of control
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, can't 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 down
And you're feeling scared
But no one understands
Keep your head up and don't look down
I'll guide your steps, to keep you off the ground
Your love is strong
And they just don't deserve to choose where you belong
