Shine a Light Lyrics

Shine a Light Text

---

MS. FLEMING
Deep inside of everyone
There's a hot ball of shame
Guilt, regret, anxiety,
Fears we dare not name.
But, if we show the ugly parts
That we hide away,
They turn out to be beautiful
By the light of day.

MS. FLEMING
Why not,

COMPANY
Shine, shine, shine a light,

MS. FLEMING
On your deepest fears!

COMPANY
Let in sunlight now.

MS. FLEMING
And your pain will disappear!

COMPANY
Shine, shine, shine.

MS. FLEMING
And your scars and your flaws,

COMPANY
Will look lovely because you shine!

MS. FLEMING
You shine a light.

COMPANY
Shine, shine, shine a light.
Shine, shine, shine a light.

PUNK GIRL
Everyday's a battlefield
When pride's on the line.

PRETTY JOCK
I attack your weakness

PUNK GIRL & JOCK
And pray you don't see mine.

NERD BOY
But if i share my ugly parts,

NERD BOY & GIRL & MS. FLEMING
And you show me yours.
Our love can knock our walls down
And unlock all our doors.

MS. FLEMING & COMPANY
Go on and,
Shine, shine, shine a light,

MS. FLEMING
On your deepest fears!

COMPANY
Let in sunlight now.

MS. FLEMING
And your pain will disappear!

MS. FLEMING
Who wants to share what's in their heart?
No volunteers, fine, i'll start,
My name's Pauline.
I live alone.
My husband left,
My kids are grown.
In the 60's love was free,
That did not work out well for me.
The revolution came and went
Tried to change the world,
Barely made a dent.
I have struggled with despair.
I've joined a cult,
Chopped off my hair.
I chant, i prayed, but god's not there.
So Steve! I'm ending our affair!
And i faked it, every, single time.
Woo, it feels fan-freaking-tastic
1, 2 take me home kids!

COMPANY
Shine, shine, shine a light,

MS. FLEMING
On your deepest fears!

COMPANY
Let in sunlight now.

MS. FLEMING
And your pain will disappear!

COMPANY
Shine, shine, shine.

MS. FLEMING
And your scars and your flaws,

MS. FLEMING & Company
Will look lovely because you shine!
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)

MS. FLEMING
You shine, you shine a liiiiiiiiiiiight.

MS. FLEMING & COMPANY
Shine, shine, shine a light.
Shine, shine, shine a light.
Shine, shine, shine a light.
Shine, shine, shine a light.
Shine, shine, shine a light.
Shine, shine, shine a light.
Shine, shine, shine a light.
Shine a light! YEAH!
