Shine Lyrics by James Gardin

Living Daylights

2015

[Chorus: Stanley Johnson]
My momma said your so bright
Boy your gonna go real far
And then I told her that tonight
Your gonna be a shooting star
And we can see it in your smile
And that's when it starts to spark
And you can see it in your heart
When it's your time
You just shine
They can go blind by the way you shine (Shine Shine)(4x)

[Verse 1: James Gardin]
Time to light up your world
Uh We all remember those dark days
Some how those memories won't depart me
I remember they couldn’t see my vision
They said it's to artsy and I was like hardly
I just refuse to not speak what my heart say
See it's like depression is the latest trend
And I'm just working hard tryna make it end
And turn that little frown up into a bigger grind
See I know you feel your rejected
And those bad vibes they ain’t getting deflected
But right now all of you are accepted
And your full Loved
And I hope you respect it
It's been a while since you felt this good
And I think it's only right that you should share it
Where it in your face till it's way more apparent
And keep on shining till your glow starts glaring
Cuz

[Hook: Stanley Johnson]
My momma said your so bright
Boy your gonna go real far
And then I told her that tonight
Your gonna be a shooting star
And we can see it in your smile
And that's when it starts to spark
And you can see it in your heart
When it's your time
You just shine
They can go blind by the way you shine (Shine Shine)(4x)

[Verse 2: James Gardin]
So now let’s flip on our blinders
And where this attitude like its from our favorite designers
And we feel fresh
Because were so blessed
A little stress will make us need a reminder
But I
Remember this like a melody in my headphones
How I started this and knew that I would get on
That's when I fell encouraged and I start to get strong
And appreciate the journey that I been on
See I know we got goals and dreams
That's not really close to the usual
And even tho your circumstances look ugly
You just choose to go and focus on the beautiful
And the doubt starts to make you feel delusional
As if failure's the only thing suitable
But that's when you gotta go and get your Fight back
And do what you gotta do to get your Light back

[Hook: Stanley Johnson]
My momma said your so bright
Boy your gonna go real far
And then I told her that tonight
Your gonna be a shooting star
And we can see it in your smile
And that's when it starts to spark
And you can see it in your heart
When it's your time
You just shine
They can go blind by the way you shine (Shine Shine)(4x)

[Bridge: James Gardin]
They say your dreams will never see the daylight
You starting to think that maybe it'll stay night
But you gotta refuse the myth that maybe they right
And you gotta realize that your a Living Daylight (2x)
