Shine

(album: Ross Copperman - 2009)

They can lift you up
They can bring you down so low
They can fill your cup
But it'll never be enough
So wear your running shoes
And run as fast, as fast as you can
Ain't gonna find out soon
That there's nothing left of you

You don't have to try so hard
You're beautiful the way you are
So just shine like the star that you are, that you are

You see a stranger's eyes
Staring back through the glass
One you can recognise
But the mirror doesn't lie
Its gonna swallow you
It's deeper than you could ever know
So what you gonna do?
Cos there's everything to lose

You don't have to try so hard
You're beautiful the way you are
So just shine like the star that you are, that you are

You don't have to feel so bad
Shooting as you can't read that
If you just shine like the star that you are, that you are
Won't you shine like the star that you are that you are

You will shine shine so bright you know
You will light the darkest night
I said, you will shine shine so bright you know
You will light the darkest night, I said
You will shine shine so bright you know
You will light the darkest night, no
You will shine shine so bright you know
You will light the darkest night
Cos you don't have to try so hard
You're beautiful just the way you are
So just shine like the star that you are, that you are

You don't have to feel so bad
Shooting as you can't read that
If you just shine like the star that you are, that you are
Won't you shine like the star that you are that you are
Won't you shine like the star that you are that you are
