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 asking
What's my motivation
Try as you may
There isn't a way to explain
the kind of change that'd
make an Eskimo renounce fur
That'd make a vegetarian
barbecue hamster
Unless you can trace this
about face to a certain sign
Shine
Make 'em wonder
what you got
Make 'em wish
that they were not
on the outside looking 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'd make a Deadhead
sell his van
That'd make a schizophrenic
turn in his crayons
Oprah freaks
and science seeks a rationale
That shall excuse this
strange behavior
When you let it shine
You will inspire
the kind of entire
turn around
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
Shine
Make 'em wonder
what you got
Make 'em wish
that they were not
on the outside looking 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 got
Make 'em wish
that they were not
on the outside looking 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 got
Make 'em wish
that they were not
on the outside looking bored
Shine
Let it shine before all men
Let 'em see good works
and then
Let 'em glorify the Lord
Shine
