Shine a Light

Deep inside of everyone
There's a hot ball of shame
Guilt, regret, 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 fear?
Let in sunlight now
And your pain will disappear!
Shine, shine, shine
And your scars and your flaws (ooh)
Will look lovely because you shine
Ya shine a light (shine, shine, shine a light)
Ooh-ooh (shine, shine, shine a light)

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!

Come on!
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 and
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

Hoo! That feels fan-freaking-tastic!
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 (ooh)
Will look lovely because you shine

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) you shine!
You shine a light! (Shine, shine, shine a light)
(Shine, shine, shine a light)
(Shine, shine, shine a light)
(Shine, shine)
Yeah! (Shine a light)
(Shine) shine, shine a light
(Shine) shine, shine a light
(Shine) shine, shine a light!
Shine a light, yeah!
