Shine, I'll stand by you
Don't try and push me away
'Cause I'm just gonna stay
You can shine, I won't deny you
And don't be afraid, it'll all be okayDo you know my name
Well, I ain't gonna take
That big time line
Won't be beat by a lieGonna call out to these embers
Waiting to ignite
Gonna pull you up by your love
By your love and tell youShine I'll stand by you
Don't try and push me away
'Cause I'm just gonna stay
You can shine, I won't deny you
And don't be afraid, it'll all be okayI can see the frown you wear
All around like some faded crown
Like a watch over woundGonna call down to this diamond
Buried underground
Gonna pull you up by your love
By your love and tell youShine, I'll stand by you
Don't try and push me away
'Cause I'm just gonna stay
You can shine, I won't deny you
And don't be afraid, it'll all be okayWhen it's said and done
What you need will come
And time, it won't let me
Let you let me waste it this timeShineShine, I'll stand by you
Don't try and push me away
'Cause I'm just gonna stay
You can shine, I won't deny you
And don't be afraid, it'll all be okayIt'll all be okay, baby, shine
You can shine, shine
Baby, baby, shine
