Lyrics

I Shine

There's not much to tell you
I've been okay here
Dodging my daydreams, becoming a winner
But I'm somewhat regretful
You gave me this sunlight
But I keep it in my old leather coat
Over my heart and take it out at midnight

When I feel sorry for myself I take it out
And pretend I'm somewhere else and I just . . .

Shine - for me, myself and I
I shine - I pick up my guitar and I hear
Choirs of angels harmonize my lines
Until the very second I open up my eyes
I Shine

It feels like I've based my life
From a tale on the ocean
There's mermaids and pirates
There's calm and there's commotion
But sometimes I find you
You're never far away
The wind in my favor, the warm sun, the forgiving wave

And I owe so much to the stars that light my path
And it's just my luck that I can never pay them back, but I can . . .

Shine - for me, myself and I
I shine - I pick up my guitar and I hear
Choirs of angels harmonize my lines
Until the very second I open up my eyes
I Shine

And if these walls fall down around me, would they find me?
Maybe no one will ever know that I can . . .

Shine - but me, myself and I
We shine - I pick up my guitar and I hear
Choirs of angels harmonize my lines
Until the very second I open up my eyes
I Shine

Until the very second I open up my eyes
I Shine
