Shine

Sometimes the mirror's are too clear

For the whispers in your ear

With that magazine just telling you

To lose another pound

Work hard, don't have too much fun

Don't look too old, don't act too young

And you're wearin' thin

'Cos everybody's tryin' to bring you down

Wipe the tears from your eyes

You can change it all tonight

Be yourself, yeah

And shine, don't let them take your sun away

Don't listen to the words they say

You can't let anybody take away that smile

Don't let them steal your dream away

'Cos even on those rainy days

It's your world and nobody can shine like you

What is real and what is not

Only depends on what you got

Runnin' round inside your head

It's so dark it's hard to tell

Will I hate myself today

Or will I find the strength to say

God help me feel the freedom

Of the love inside myself

Wipe the tears on yours eyes

You can change it all tonight

Be yourself, yeah
