Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Shine

'Cause everybody's a star and it's not a crime

Shine

So stand on up and free your mind

Shine

'Cause when we see you smile, we know you're doing fine

Shine

[Verse 2]

Don't let the clouds of hell hide away your smile

When you shine, you'll always find, it's alright after a while

'Cause sometimes you get to wondering what you're gonna do

Long as you smile a little, the sun will keep shining through for you

[Verse 3]

There's a shine in everyone, you've got to let it through

Only thing that holds you back is the heavy part of you

You've got to, got to keep your shine, your tears will cease to fall

Love will be your guiding light, it's the brightest of them all

You've got to

[Verse 4]

Shine

'Cause everybody's a star and it's not a crime

Shine

So stand on up and free your mind

Shine

'Cause when we see you smile, we know you're doing fine

Shine

[Verse 5]

There'll be times you're gonna feel you might be wasting time

Don't you give up on yourself, if you do, you'll never shine

Life is filled with ups and downs, you're standing straight and tall

You're the captain of your ship, you're a star that never falls

[Verse 6]

There's a shine in everyone, you've got to let it through

Only thing that holds you back is the worried part of you

You've got to, got to keep your shine, your tears will cease to fall

Love will be your guiding light, it's the brightest of them all

Come on and

[Verse 7]

Shine

Gotta stand up

Shine

So stand on up and

Shine

'Cause when we see you smile, we know you're doing fine

Shine

[Verse 8]

Shine

Everybody's a star and it's not a crime

Shine

Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it

Shine

'Cause when we see you smile, we know you're doing fine

Shine

Woo

[Verse 9]

Shine

You've got to stand on up and get on up and

Shine

Well, well, woo, woo, yeah

Shine

'Cause when we see you smile, we know you're doing fine

Shine
