Shine (Pat Monahan)

You watch them watch you You want them too Then their faces fade away You worked your whole life To show them all that you have what it takes to shine Cause no one has what you have And no one ever will You have heart And that's all you need You're gonna shine for them Shine for them Shine No matter what it takes you'll shine Well life got complicated And no one ever waited And you son grew into a man And all you wanted was to be loved But it ended up fitting you like some glove Was strangling all your changes to shine But you'd show them all That you'd make them fall Cause they didn't understand a thing about The way you'd shine Oh you shine Your gonna shine for them Shine for them Shine No matter what it took you shine Now you're on the best stage And in your best dress But the show is not for you It's a clown with a frown In from out of town And your hairdo's falling And they're filling out and My God the clown is you But you dance for someone that smiles at you And drift into the shadows of yourself Off you go But you shine for him Shine for him Shine And now its time for them to shine for you Shine for them Shine for them Shine
