Shine - Average White Band

Nothing in this world

Seems to function without tears

You oughta' know

There’s no need to pull yourself apart

Nothing you can do

Seems to matter without love

You oughta' know

Everything you’ve got will be enough

All the things you are

Could stay locked

Up inside

Far from the light of day

It’s much more than a matter of pride

Can’t you hear them saying

Shine _ aah

Let it be a light that burns within —

Open up and

Shine — aah

Never mind the darkness closing in

You can rise above and

Shine — aah

Just close your eyes and shine

Whatever you may do

Don’t forget about the little things

— small as they may seem

They all add up to someone

Else’s dreams

Whatever you may think

No- one wants to show you the way

— you can be the one

There’s no better time to call the play

All the things you do

Will stay with you wherever you go

— no use in trying to hide

It’s much more than a matter of show

All you’ve got to do is

Shine, etc
