Shine It Lyrics by Sometymes Why

Your Heart Is a Glorious Machine

2009

[Verse 1- Ruth Ungar Merenda]
You've been down in the depths
Of the blues for too long
I'm trying to think
What I can say
I know that you feel like
You've run out of time
But I can't stand
To see you this way
[Verse 2- Ruth Ungar Merenda]
Well beauty is blurry
When you're in a hurry
So take your time and be strong
My mama said
Get it through your head
Life isn't short
Life is long
[Chorus- Ruth Ungar Merenda, Kristin Andreassen & Aoife O'Donovan, Ruth Ungar Merenda, Kristin Andreassen, & Aoife O'Donovan]
So pick it up (you can)
Dust it off (do)
You can do better
Pick it up (you)
Dust it off (can)
And (shine) shine it
Pick it up (you can)
Dust it off (do)
You can do better
Pick it up (you)
Dust it off (can)
And shine
Shine your light
[Verse 3- Ruth Ungar Merenda]
You've been up in the air
On a flying trapeze
And you say that your dreams
Are up there
And someday you'll stand
On your own two feet
But right now
You're still up in the air
[Verse 4- Ruth Ungar Merenda]
Well how can you love me
From way up above me
The earth's not as bad as it seems
I'm on your side
I'm alone for the ride
And I believe in your dreams
[Chorus- Ruth Ungar Merenda, Kristin Andreassen & Aoife O'Donovan, Ruth Ungar Merenda, Kristin Andreassen, & Aoife O'Donovan]
So pick it up (you can)
Dust it off (do)
You can do better
Pick it up (you)
Dust it off (can)
And (shine) shine it
Pick it up (you can)
Dust it off (do)
You can do better
Pick it up (you)
Dust it off (can)
And shine
Shine your light
