Shine
[Intro]
Now as the evening sun sets on you healer
Your day is over, your light is fading away at last
And the wolves howl after the healer
Fighting for pieces, bits of his shattered remains
All who could know
First they curse you, then they warn you so
Then they use you and then they go on
'Til they curse you and there's no more
And they turn off all the light that you are giving away
And they burn off, but they just don't seem to shine
Is it all gone, is there no one who will shine?

[Verse 1]
Don't let the secret out, it's much too early
They are not ready but the hour is close at hand
For the wolves of the world are still hungry
But they are dying, there is no healing for them

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, you will know by the signs you have seen before
In your seeds of life there are more to come
The healer was not alone

[Chorus]
He will turn on all the light
That they've been hiding away
Turn on the light, he will burn off
Come on and shine, you diamond, shine
[Chorus]
He will turn on all the light that they've been hiding away
He will burn off, come on, shine, you diamond, shine
They will turn on all the light that they've been hiding away
They will burn off, come on, shine, you diamond, shine

[Verse 2]
There are a million eyes watching the world tonight
Have we learned nothing, do we merit another chance?
By what grace have we earned some redemption?
Ten million saviors, ten billion angels of man

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, those who know that such miracles can be so
They arrive because they must go
And lead believers to bring it home

[Chorus]
He will turn on all the light that they've been hiding away
He will burn off, come on, shine, you diamond, shine
They will turn on all the light that they've been hiding away
They will burn off, come on, shine, you diamond, shine

[Bridge]
There are a million eyes watching the world tonight
Ten million saviors, ten billion angels of man
Oh, you will know by the signs you have seen before
In your seeds of life there are more to come
The healer was not alone
[Chorus]
They will turn on all the light that they've been hiding away
And they'll burn off, come on, shine, you diamond, shine
They will turn on all the light that they've been hiding away
They will burn off, come on, shine, you diamond, shine

[Chorus]
They will turn on all the light that they've been hiding away
And they'll burn off, come on, shine, you diamond, shine
They will turn on all the light that they've been hiding away
They will burn off, come on, shine, you diamond, shine
