You watch them watch you
You want them too
Then their faces fade away

You worked your whole life
To show them all that you have what it takes to shine


Cause no one has what you have
And no one ever will
You have heart

And that's all you need

You're gonna shine for them

Shine for them
Shine
No matter what it takes you'll shine


Well life got complicated
And no one ever waited

And you son grew into a man
And all you wanted was to be loved
But it ended up fitting you like some glove

Was strangling all your changes to shine
But you'd show them all
That you'd make them fall

Cause they didn't understand a thing about
The way you'd shine
Oh you shine


Your gonna shine for them
Shine for them

Shine
No matter what it took you shine


Now you're on the best stage
And in your best dress
But the show is not for you

It's a clown with a frown
In from out of town
And your hairdo's falling

And they're filling out and
My God the clown is you


But you dance for someone that smiles at you
And drift into the shadows of yourself
Off you go


But you shine for him
Shine for him

Shine
And now its time for them to shine for you


Shine for them
Shine for them
Shine
