Shine

(album: Vanishing America - 2001)

Hey, Sebastian, don't be blue
It ain't up to you
Sometimes this world just has a way of going astray
And hey, Sebastian, look around
It's a crazy lost and found
We're all trying to find a place in this human race to shine
Everybody wants to shine
And brother mine, the way you shine is something to behold
Has anybody ever told you, Sebastian
When you shine you shine like gold
When you shine you shine like gold

Oh, brother, brother, my little brother
I can't save you from this world any more
Than I can save myself
Oh, brother, brother, my little brother
No, I can't save you from this world any more
Than I can save myself
Sebastian, don't be blue
Though sometimes it may seem this world ain't made
Ah, for the likes of you
Sometimes it will seem this world ain't made
Ah, for the likes of you

Hey, Sebastian, don't be blue
It ain't up to you
Sometimes this world just has a way of going astray
And hey, Sebastian, look around
It's a great big lost and found
You're just trying to find a place in this human race to shine
Sebastian, everybody wants to shine
And brother mine, the way you shine is something to behold
Has anybody ever told you, Sebastian
When you shine you shine like gold
You shine like gold
When you shine you shine like gold

Oh, brother, brother, my little brother
I can't save you from this world any more
Than I can save myself
Oh, brother, brother, my little brother
No, I can't save you from this world any more
Than I can save myself, mmm
Sebastian, don't be blue
Though sometimes it will seem this world ain't made
For the likes of you
Sebastian, sometimes it will seem this world ain't made
For the likes of you

Little brother mine, the way you shine is something to behold
And have I ever told you, Sebastian
When you shine you shine like gold
You shine like gold
When you shine you shine like gold
You shine like gold
When you shine you shine like gold
You shine like gold
When you shine you shine like gold
And you shine like gold
And when you shine you shine like gold
