Shine

Shine (Going Public Album Version) - Newsboys

Written by：Peter Furler/Steve Taylor

Dull as dirt

You can't assert

The kinda light that might persuade

A strict dictator to retire

Fire the army

Teach the poor origami

The truth is in

The proof is when you hear your heart start asking

What's my motivation

And try as you may

There is no way

To explain the kinda change

That'd make an eskimo renounce fur

That'd make a vegetarian barbecue hamster

Less you can trace this another face to a certain

Sign

Shine

Make 'em wonder whatcha got

Make 'em wish that they were not

On the outside looking bored

Shine

Let it shine before all men

Let em see good works and then

Let em glorify the Lord

Out of the shaker and onto the plate

It isn't karma it sure ain't fate

That would make a deadhead sell his van

That would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayons

Oprah freaks

And science geeks

A rationale that shall excuse this strange behavior

When you let it shine

You will inspire the kind of entire turn around

That would make a bouncer take ballet

Even bouncers who are unhappy

But out of the glare

With nowhere to turn

You ain't gonna learn it on what's my line

Shine

Make 'em wonder whatcha got

Make 'em wish that they were not

On the outside looking bored

Shine

Let it shine before all men

Let 'em see good works and then

Let 'em glorify the Lord

Shine

Make 'em wonder whatcha got

Make 'em wish that they were not

On the outside looking bored

Shine

Let it shine before all men

Let 'em see good works and then

Let 'em glorify the Lord

Shine

Make 'em wonder whatcha got

Make 'em wish that they were not

On the outside looking bored

Shine

Let it shine before all men

Let 'em see good works and then

Let 'em glorify the Lord

Shine

Make 'em wonder whatcha got

Make 'em wish that they were not

On the outside looking bored

Shine

Let it shine before all men

Let 'em see good works and then

Let 'em glorify the Lord

Shine
