Shine

Dull as dirt, you can't assert the kinda light

That might persuade a strict dictator to retire

Fire the army, teach the poor origami, the truth is in, the proof is when

You hear your heart start asking what's my motivation?

And try as you may there isn't a way to explain the kinda change

That would make an eskimo renounce fur

That would make a vegetarian barbecue hamster

Unless you can trace this other face to a certain sign

Shine, make 'em wonder what you got

Make 'em wish that they were not on the outside lookin' bored

Shine, let it shine before all men

Let 'em see good works and then let 'em glorify the Lord

Out of the shaker and onto the plate, it isn't karma, it sure ain't fate

That would make a deadhead sell his van

That would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayon

Oprah freaks and science seeks a rationale

That shall excuse this strange behavior

When you let it shine you will inspire

The kind of entire turnaround that'd make a bouncer take ballet

Even bouncers who aren't happy

But out of the glare with nowhere to turn

You ain't gonna learn it on, What's my line?

Shine, make 'em wonder what you got

Make 'em wish that they were not on the outside lookin' bored

Shine, let it shine before all men

Let 'em see good works and then let 'em glorify the Lord

Shine, shine, shine, shine

Shine, shine, shine, shine (I'm gonna let it shine)

Shine, shine, shine, shine (I'm gonna let it shine)

Shine

Shine

Shine, make 'em wonder what you got

Make 'em wish that they were not on the outside lookin' bored

Shine, let it shine before all men

Let 'em see good works and then let 'em glorify the Lord

Shine, make 'em wonder what you got

Make 'em wish that they were not on the outside lookin' bored

Shine, let it shine before all men

Let 'em see good works and then let 'em glorify the Lord

Shine
