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!
