Shine Lyrics by Jay Parish

Test Results: A Songwriter Experiment

2016

I think you
Want to move on to better things
Like someone who
Can always give you brand new everything

And I know that you
Don’t want your best years to go to waste
So you want someone who
Can guarantee they’ll put you on that stage

But I can only give you my heart
And call you mine
But you want to be with a star
So you can shine

I can promise to love you
For who you really are inside
But you want
A guy on camera you can stand beside

Through the good and the bad
I would love you just the same
But you would rather
Have the whole world know your name

But I can only give you my heart
And call you mine
But you want to be with a star
So you can shine

So go ahead and shine
I’d never try to stop you
Go ahead and shine
Let everybody watch you

‘Cause I can only give you my heart
And call you mine
But you want to be with a star
So you can shine

You want to be with somebody
One day, one day, one day
But he better be a somebody
One day, one day, one day

You want to be with somebody
One day, one day, one day
Oh, you’re gonna be a somebody
One day, one day, one day

So go ahead and shine
I’d never try to stop you
Go ahead and shine
Let everybody watch you

So go ahead and shine
Don’t let anybody stop you
Go ahead and shine
And I’ll be here to watch you

I think that you
Want to move on to better things
