Shine

You watch them watch you

You want them too

Then their faces fade away

You worked your whole life

To show them all that you have what it takes to shine

Cause no one has what you have

And no one ever will

You have heart

And that's all you need

You're gonna shine for them

Shine for them

Shine

No matter what it takes you'll shine

Well life got complicated

And no one ever waited

And you son grew into a man

And all you wanted was to be loved

But it ended up fitting you like some glove

Was strangling all your changes to shine

But you'd show them all

That you'd make them fall

Cause they didn't understand a thing about

The way you'd shine

Oh you shine

Your gonna shine for them

Shine for them

Shine

No matter what it took you shine

Now you're on the best stage

And in your best dress

But the show is not for you

It's a clown with a frown

In from out of town

And your hairdo's falling

And they're filling out and

My God the clown is you

But you dance for someone that smiles at you

And drift into the shadows of yourself

Off you go

But you shine for him

Shine for him

Shine

And now its time for them to shine for you

Shine for them

Shine for them

Shine
