lyrics

OUR TIME TO SHINE

the rain it missed us, on and on
straight into a groovy kind of weather
out the window, down the line
no looking back, we're terrified and smiling

it ain't no thing, we grew our wings
and we learned to sing a happy kind of song
this kind of life can bring us everything
from sweat to swing to anything, so long

i heard the angel bargain, leave his mark
on that old man from down the road
t'was nothing new i guess but when it's mine
i want the rest of what i'm owed

i don't care, at least i'm there
i'm screaming in the front row of the show
knockin' off the beggars in the way
this way just ain't the way to go

this is our time
our time to shine

shine like the gold in the hands of the mother sun
shine like the crest of a wave before it's all done
shine like the eyes of the greatest love we've ever known
shine like a rolling stone

the message from beyond the fold
it read you better never damp the fire
that's burning in my soul
i cannot vouch for what ain't rolling down the wire

to make through the morning dew
and hold on til the fireflies at night
it's what we want, it's what we got
ain't nothing but the sweetness and the light

this is our time
our time to shine

shine like the gold in the hands of the mother sun
shine like the crest of a wave before it's all done
shine like the eyes of the greatest love we've ever known
shine like a rolling stone
