Shine

(album: The Story I Tell - 2013)

Don't sell yourself short trying to live in the moment
Fireworks come and go
Cause when it all fades away like seasons do tell me
What will you have to show?

Cause you are not some cosmic accident
You are wonderfully made
And His intention for inventing you is so you can live this way...

We gotta shine, shine, shine like the stars in the sky
And we gotta live live, live, like we're willing to die
And we gotta open up and love enough to show that we are more than meets the eye...

Always looking to the ground at the shadows you're making
there's so much more to see
Stop spending all your time as a prisoner to perfection
Don't you know that you are free?

There might be cracks in these pots of clay
but the light, you can't ignore
And it's hard to hesitate when you know you are made for more...

We gotta shine, shine, shine like the stars in the sky
And we gotta live live, live, like we're willing to die
And we gotta open up and love enough to show that we are more than meets the eye...

You are more than superficial temporary things
We gotta shine, shine
We gotta shine, shine

And you got more to offer than all the world could bring
We gotta shine, oh yeah

We gotta shine, shine, shine like the stars in the sky
And we gotta live live, live, like we're willing to die

We gotta shine, shine, shine like the stars in the sky
And we gotta live live, live, like we're willing to die
We gotta open up and love enough to show that we are more than passers by...
We are more than meets... the eye

We gotta shine, shine
We gotta shine, shine
We gotta shine, shine
We gotta shine, shine
We gotta shine, shine
We gotta shine
