Shine - Birdy

Standing here in the rain

I can see the water soaking through

The holes in your shoes

And turn your mind from the storm

Get you somewhere safe

Where it’s soft and warm

I’m waiting here at a dim street light

Orange dances around in your empty eyes

And I can see straight into your soul

Feeling oh so lost and out of control

Oh

Shine

If your heart tells you to

Then who are you to question it

Shine

If the world gets you down

Don’t be afraid to wrestle it

Shine

You have your whole life ahead of you

Come, make a mess of it

Shine

If your heart tells you to

Then who are you to question it

Who are you to question it

Tired now, feeling scared

Unfamiliar light floods into the room

You have walked into

Hopeful eyes looking out

As you wait alone

Hiding tears of doubt

Now holding back as you realize your abandonment

You’ll be cast aside

And I can see straight into your soul

Feeling oh so lost and out of control

Shine

If your heart tells you to

Then who are you to question it

Shine

If the world gets you down

Don’t be afraid to wrestle it

Shine

You have your whole life ahead of you

Come, make a mess of it

Shine

If your heart tells you to

Then who are you to question it

Who are you to question it

Hold my hand when the lights go down

And you’re feeling scared, but no one understands

Keep your head up and don’t look down

I’ll guard your stance to keep you on the ground

Your love is strong

And they just don’t deserve

To choose where you belong

Shine

If your heart tells you to

Then who are you to question it

Shine

If the world gets you down

Don’t be afraid to wrestle it

Shine

You have your whole life ahead of you

Come, make a mess of it

Shine

If your heart tells you to

Then who are you to question it

Who are you to question it
