Newsboys - Shine Lyrics

Send "Shine" ringtones to your cell

dull as dirt 
you can´t assert the kind of light 
that might persuade 
a strict dictator to retire 
fire the army 
teach the poor origami 
the truth is in 
the proof is when 
you hear your heart start asking, 
"What´s my motivation?" 


and try as you may, there isn´t a way 
to explain the kind of change 
that would make an Eskimo renounce fur 
that would make a vegetarian barbecue hamster 
unless you can trace this about-face 
to a certain sign... 

Chorus 
shine 
make ´em wonder what you´ve got 
make ´em wish that they were not 
on the outside looking bored 
shine 
let it shine before all men 
let´em see good works, and then 
let ´em glorify the Lord 

out of the shaker and onto the plate 
it isn´t Karma 
it sure ain´t fate 
that would make a Deadhead sell his van 
that would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayons 
Oprah freaks 
and science seeks a rationale 
that shall excuse 
this strange behavior 

when you let it shine 
you will inspire 
the kind of entire turnaround 
that would make a bouncer take ballet 
(even bouncers who aren´t happy) 
but out of the glare 
with nowhere to turn 
you ain´t gonna learn it on "What´s My Line?"
