Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Standin' here in the rain
I can see the water soakin' through
The holes in your shoes
And turn your mind from the storm
Get you somewhere safe
Where it's soft and warm
[Verse 2]
I'm waitin' here at a dim streetlight
Orange dances around in your empty eyes
And I can see straight into your soul
Feelin' oh, so lost and out of control, oh
[Verse 3]
Oh, shine
If your heart tells you to
Then who are you to question it?
Shine
If the world gets you down
Don't be afraid to wrestle it
Shine
You have your whole life ahead of you
Come make a mess of it
Shine
If your heart tells you to
Then who are you to question it?
Who're you to question it?
[Verse 4]
Tired now, feeling scared
Unfamiliar light floods into the room
You have woken to
Hopeful eyes looking out
As you wait alone
Hiding tears of doubt
[Verse 5]
Not holding back as you realize
Your abandonment, you'll be cast aside
And I can see straight into your soul
Feelin' oh, so lost and out of control, oh, oh
[Verse 6]
Shine
If your heart tells you to
Then who are you to question it?
Shine
If the world gets you down
Don't be afraid to wrestle it
Shine
You have your whole life ahead of you
Come make a mess of it
Shine
If your heart tells you to
Then who are you to question it?
Who're you to question it?
[Verse 7]
Hold my hand when the lights go down
And you're feeling scared
But no one understands, whoa, oh
Keep your head up and don't look down
Now guide your steps
To keep you on the ground, whoa, oh
[Verse 8]
Your love is strong
And they just don't deserve
To choose where you belong
[Verse 9]
Shine
If your heart tells you to
Then who are you to question it?
Shine
If the world gets you down
Don't be afraid to wrestle it
Shine
You have your whole life ahead of you
Come make a mess of it
Shine
If your heart tells you to
Then who are you to question it?
Who're you to question it?
