Shine a Light

Deep inside of everyone
There's a hot ball of shame
Guilt, regrets, anxiety
Fears we dare not name
But, if we show the ugly parts
That we hide away
They turn out to be beautiful
By the light of day!

Why not
Shine, shine, shine a light
On your deepest fears?
Let in sunlight now
And your pain will disappear!
Shine, shine, shine
And your scars and your flaws
Will look lovely because you shine!
You shine a light

Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light (ooh)

Every day's a battlefield
When pride's on the line
I attack your weaknesses
And pray you don't see mine
But if I share my ugly parts
And you show me yours
Our love can knock our walls down
And unlock all our doors!

Shine, shine, shine a light
On your deepest fears!
Let in sunlight now
And your pain will disappear!

Who wants to share what's in their heart?
No volunteers? Fine, I'll start
My name's Pauline, I live alone
My husband left, my kids are grown
In the '60s love was free
That did not work out well for me
The revolution came and went
Tried to change the world, barely made a dent

I have struggled with despair
I've joined a cult, chopped off my hair
I chant, I pray, but god's not there
So Steve! I'm ending our affair!
And I faked it, every single time
Whoo! Now that felt fan-fricking-tactic
One, two, take me home, kids!

Shine, shine, shine a light
On your deepest fears!
Let in sunlight now
And your pain will disappear!
Shine, shine, shine
And your scars and your flaws
Will look lovely because you shine!
You shine, you shine a light

Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light

Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine a light!
Yeah!
