Lyrics Shine - Average White Band

Nothing in this world
Seems to function without tears
You oughta know
There′s no need to pull yourself apart, no

Nothing you can do
Seems to matter without love
Don't be afraid
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 (shine ah ah)
Let it be a light that burns within
Open up and
Shine (shine ah ah)

Never mind the darkness closing in
You can rise above and
Shine (shine ah ah)
Just close your eyes and shine

Whatever you may do
Don′t forget about the little things
(Small as they may seem)
You ought to know
They all add up to someone else′s dreams

Whatever you may think
No one's gonna lead the way
You can be the one
It′s up to you
And there's no better time to call the play

All the things you want
Will stay with you wherever you go
(No use in trying to hide)
It′s much more than a matter of show
You must be alright

Shine (shine ah ah)
Let it be a light that burns within
Open up and
Shine (shine ah ah)

Never mind the darkness closing in
You can rise above and
Shine (shine ah ah)
Just close your eyes and shine

Ooh
Let it shine
Oh shine

Shine (shine ah ah)
Let it be a light that burns within
(You can rise above and)
Shine (shine ah ah)
Never mind the darkness closing in

Ooh
Shine (shine ah ah)
Just close your eyes and
Shine (shine ah ah)
(Gotta shine, gotta shine)
