FriedPaint Lyrics: "Shine" by Geoff Lewis

Shine
Lyrics & Music
by Geoff Lewis

Sunlight, moonlight, starlight; shine
Daylight; twilight; nightlight; shine

Tonight’s the night to catch the falling stars
and place them in the palm of your hand

Don’t leave them lying there, so cold on the ground
when the song begins
the stars rise up to the sound

Take a crucial moment now
to close your eyes
feel the pulse of love and life
run deep inside, yeah
In the light, I’ll take a chance
to read the signs
in the air, our silent hopes
begin to shine

The world around us
can never stay the same
even clouds of darkness
filled with rain
can pour down into sunshine
when we stop and think to pray
the light grows dim
but the fire makes the dark go away

Take a little moment now
to search inside your mind
feel the pulse of love and life
run clear and clean behind your eyes, now
In the light, I know I’m safe
at last, I’ll be alive
can you see it in the air
our hopes and dreams they start to shine, oh, shine

Don’t let them sell you pain and death
in a soothing voice
there’s so much more to life
you’ve got to make your choice!

Reach the stars
in your mind
now your eyes
start to shine

And when the darkness tells you
give up, don’t even try
take the hand of the One
who put the stars up in the nighttime sky, now

It’s a perfect moment now
to breathe and feel alive
in the air, our hopes and dreams, at last
they get to brightly shine, oh, shine, so
Take a final moment now
to just be calm and quiet
all the pain they promised you
was just a pile of worn-out lies, oh, yeah, babe
When the stars refuse to shine
I still can see your smile
they’ll never know the way your hopes and dreams
will get to shine, oh, shine, so shine, yeah
