Clay Aiken
"Shine"


You can try to hide away
From every drop of rain
That's hanging over you
And you can say it's all a waste
Lost your time and space
There's nothing left to lose
Like a broken angel on the ground
Like a symphony without a sound
Turn around

Everything you are
Everywhere you've been
The sinner and the saint
That fight the battle within
Every place you go
Everybody knows
Shadows fall across the sun sometimes
Shine
You are gonna shine

In the mirror of your soul
I know that you know
You are not forsaken
Hey butterfly, open up your weary eyes
And realize
It's a trip we're taking
And the world will turn around again
And your shattered heart is gonna mend
In the end

Everything you are
Everywhere you've been
The sinner and the saint
That fight the battle within
Every place you go
Everybody knows
Shadows fall across the sun sometimes
Shine
You are gonna shine

Baby, let's go riding on shooting stars (stars)
(You are gonna shine)
Watch the crescent moon smile to your heart (to your heart)
(Shine)
You are going to shine
(shine)
You are going to shine

Everything you are
Everywhere you've been
The sinner and the saint
That fight the battle within
Every place you go
Everybody knows
Shadows fall across the sun sometimes
Shine

Everything you are (everything you are)
Everywhere you've been (everywhere you've been)
The sinner and the saint (Oh)
That fight the battle within (fight the battle within)
Every place you go (everywhere you go)
Everybody knows (everybody knows)
Shadows fall across the sun sometimes
Shine
You are gonna shine
(Oh)
