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.
Shine, open up your life and shine your light
Shine, open up and show the freak inside
Words don't mean nothing
His words don't mean nothing
He has no shame
He will say anything
Just to get what he needs
He says he needs
The right girl
To heal his hurt
And change his world
He will say anything
To make her think
He is the man
She wants him to be
Shine, open up your life and shine your light
Shine, open up and show the freak inside
The girl had a good plan
To find herself a good man
The kind of guy that you hear about
But you never seem to meet
She hides
Behind those bright eyes
Fake smiles and sex
And white lies
Yeah
She is
Trying too hard
To be the way
That she thinks
She's supposed to be
Come on
Shine, Shine, Shine
Let me see you
Shine, Shine, Shine
I want to see you
Shine, Shine, Shine
Come on
Let me see you
Open up and shine your light
Open up and show the world
The freak inside
You are afraid to shine
To see what's deep inside
Go find your freak and let it drive
You are afraid to shine
To see what's deep inside
Go find your freak and let it glide
You sing the same old song
Been in the dark too long
There is so much more than meets the eye
Don't be afraid to shine
Go find out who you are inside
Just go and find your freak and let it fly
Let me see you
Shine, Shine
Let me see you
Shine, Shine
I want to see you
Shine
Shine
Come on let me see you
Shine, Shine, Shine
Come on
Shine
Let me see you
Open up and shine your light
Open up and show the world
The freak inside
