Shine

She walks into the room says what can I do for you today
Started out hard now its just a job gets easier everyday
When she was seventeen she had so many dreams
My how things change
Left her one night after inventing a fight
Another mouth on the way
What did you want...when you began
How do you think...you came to this end
Now you're aching, aching, say this pain is mine
Wanting, waiting...waiting to shine
Steps into the room everything goes black
That's all she said she knew
Every few months somebody gets rough really nothing new
She closes her eyes dreams of a time dreams a better way
Now she only wants a life for the one in her life gets her through the day
What did you want...when you began
How do you think...you came to this end
Now you're aching, aching, say this pain is mine
Wanting, waiting...waiting to shine
What do you see...becoming to clear
Close your eyes...it will all disappear
Now your aching, aching it's all in your mind
Wanting, waiting, waiting to shine
Know that your hoping hoping you'll find, only wanting you to shine
When she was seventeen she had such dreams
My how things change
