Newsboys - Shine lyrics

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 askin'
"What's my motivation?" (ation)
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 (Sign)

Shine make 'em wonder what you've got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside lookin' 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
(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?"
(My line)

Shine make 'em wonder what you've got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside lookin' bored shine
Let it shine before all men
Let 'em see good works and then
Let 'em glorify the Lord

Shine make 'em wonder what you've got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside lookin' bored shine
Let it shine before all men
Let 'em see good works and then
Let 'em glorify the Lord

Shine make 'em wonder what you've got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside lookin' bored shine
Let it shine before all men
Let 'em see good works and then
Let 'em glorify the Lord

Shine make 'em wonder what you've got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside lookin' bored shine (Shine)
Let it shine before all men
Let 'em see good works and then
Let 'em glorify the Lord

Shine
