Shine On

You sit there crying, feeling hopeless
consumed by tears that fall like rain
Deep inside you look for something
to help you find yourself again
Amidst the state of your confusion
just don't know what you should do
Listen close for the voice is calling
that lives deep inside of you

With a soul wide open
let yourself shine 
with a heart so free
Keep your eyes to the heavens
and know you can be 
all you can be
shine on 


When you release that glow you keep hidden
you'll dance with the moon, ride on the beam
Stand up with the power within you
take hold of your life and live out your dream
No more worries about tomorrow
and forgetting about yesterday
You take the here and now and call it your own
and shine your heart away

shine on
