Lyrics
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.
I didn't like where I was going
Didn't like the path I'd chosen
Stuck going through the motions, day after daylight
Like an old black vinyl record
Same sad song never gets better
Finally pulled myself together and made a change 'cause
Chorus:
I don't wanna spend the rest of my life
And wonder why the world passed me by
While I wasn't lookin' or laughing
Gonna cut loose from all these chains
Turn 'em into a fist full of brains
And ride out cause now there's no doubt
Everyday i'm alive you can bet that i'm gonna shine
Na na na na na na na na na na na....
Take it one day at a time,
Told myself that I'd be fine
Everyone breaks down sometimes, now i can say that
Like a road that just keeps goin', red sun set, over the ocean
Stronger now that life keeps growing inside
Chorus:
I don't wanna spend the rest of my life
And wonder why the world passed me by
While I wasn't lookin' or laughing
Gonna cut loose from all these chains
Turn 'em into a fist full of brains
And ride out cause now there's no doubt
Everyday i'm alive you can bet that i'm gonna shine
Don't wanna spend the rest of my life
And wonder why the world passed me by
While I wasn't lookin' or laughin'
Gonna cut loose from all these chains
Turn 'em into a fist full of brains
And ride out cause now there's no doubt
Everyday i'm alive you can bet that i'm
Everyday i'm alive you can bet that i'm gonna shine
Na na na na na na na na na
I'm gonna shine..
Na na na na na na na na na
