Shine Like You Should
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.
Here's the real stuff that life is made of
It's the mother and father of love
It is out there and inside your mind
It's the part of the heart
That is measuring time
It's in every heartbeat that you hear
Your defenses against all your fears
How you bounce back
When you start to fall
And it's all in the climb
That's measuring time
Live every minute
Shine like you should
Here is what's in it for you
Don't it feel good
To be feelin' good
Feelin' good
All the answers are inside your heart
Touch somebody
And that's the best part
Love somebody
And see what you find
'Cause we're all in the climb
That's measuring time
Live every minute
Shine like you should
Here is what's in it for you
Don't it feel good
To be feelin' good
Feelin' good
You got to live. . . .
