Shine a Light

Lyrics

[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, STUDENTS, MS. FLEMING & STUDENTS] Why not shine, shine, shine a light On your deepest fear? Let in sunlight now And your pain will disappear Shine, shine, shine And your scars and your flaws (Ooh) Will look lovely because you shine You shine a light Shine, shine, shine a light Shine, shine, shine a light (Ooh) [STONER CHICK, STUDENTS] Every day's a battlefield (Ooh) When pride's on the line (Ooh) [PREPPY STUD, STUDENTS] I attack your weaknesses (Ooh) [STONER CHICK, PREPPY STUD & MS. FLEMING, STUDENTS] And pray you don't see mine (Ooh) [BELEAGUERED GEEK, STUDENTS] But if I share my ugly parts (Ooh) [BELEAGUERED GEEK, NEW WAVE GIRL & MS. FLEMING, STUDENTS] And you show me yours (Ooh) Our love can knock our walls down (Ooh) And unlock all our doors (Ah) [MS. FLEMING, STUDENTS, MS. FLEMING & STUDENTS] Come on, shine, shine, shine a light On your deepest fear Let in sunlight now 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 sixties, 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 pray, but God's not there So Steve, I'm ending our affair [MS. FLEMING, spoken] And I faked it, every single time Hoo, that feels fan-freakin'-tastic One, two, take me home, kids [MS. FLEMING, STUDENTS, MS. FLEMING & STUDENTS] Shine, shine, shine a light On your deepest fear Let in sunlight now And your pain will disappear Shine, shine, shine And your scars and your flaws (Ooh) Will look lovely because you shine (Ahh) You shine, you shine a light Shine, shine, shine a light Shine, shine, shine a light Shine, shine, shine a light Shine, shine, shine a light (Yeah) Shine, shine, shine a light Shine, shine, shine a light Shine, shine, shine a light Shine a light, yeah!
