You Need To Shine

I worry for the future

I worry for the pain

I worry myself sick about the wear and tear and strain

I'm sending you a message

With hope for brighter days

Beginnings and their endings

The longing always stays

So uncertain, close the curtain, close the blind

But in this darkness here's the only thing I find

All I want is happiness for you

First thing on my mind

Great things are happening, dear

And you need to shine

Celebrate the moments

We've shared across the years

We celebrate the laughter and the tears

We measure time and distance

With colors, words and rhymes

And when we test the limits we'll be fine

Time to ease my grip, I need to cede control

(You need to shine, yeah!)

I'm so broken, make me healthy, make me whole

All I want is happiness for you

First thing on my mind

Great things are happening, dear

And you need to shine

Don't let sadness get into our weary bones

Don't let darkness take your soul

All that madness doesn't matter anymore

Pull ourselves together, pull ourselves together!

You need to shine, yeah!

You need to shine, yeah!

You need to shine, yeah!
