Shine Lyrics

And so it goes, i sit around & think about
All the pain exchanged just to get to now
Living down near the bottom it's become quite clear
That their aim is to keep me right here,
I hear what they say
But i can see & i see it's not that way
I want that day to come
I guess for me i can see it coz
My realistic is idealistic
Which seems to mean that im a tiny bit twisted
In this day and age, coz with hate they raise their youth
Whether wealth, or your race, or religion
Whole generations are brainwashed to pigeon - hole everyone else
And that belief is the part that keeps us apart
See i could see from the start
That it's hard when you're made a little different
But if i can make em listen, then maybe they'll be different, too


We can change it all, if you wanna try
We can make a difference on the outside
The time is now, for us to shine (in our life we can forever shine)
So take a deeper look at what you've got inside
We can make a difference on the outside
The time is now, for us to shine (in our life we can forever shine)


And so it goes, another new day, new phases
Everything looks different but nothing really changes
It's crazy, we're raised to fall in line
Yeah from a young age we're taught to hide
What's inside, so our need for expression
Soon becomes a dream with no means to express it
We feel trapped & can't see there's an exit
That's why a lot people swallow deep & supress it
It eats away on meaningless questions
Which feed, til aggression just leads to depression
& you drown in a sea of resentment
Or become another teen trying to plead for acceptance
I can't stand it coz i know it's wrong
And since i put it all together see i wrote this song
To let you know if you've been there, i've been there too
& let you know if you're still there, you will get through, it's true


We can change it all, if you wanna try
We can make a difference on the outside
The time is now, for us to shine (in our life we can forever shine)
So take a deeper look at what you've got inside
We can make a difference on the outside
The time is now, for us to shine (in our life we can forever shine)


Shine like the sun
Shine, shine like the sun
Change it for the better, change it for the better, change it for the better today(repeat)
