Shine

Didn't think I'd finally find
A whole world in my mind
But you're doing just fine
You said, "I'm sorry babe
I just want to shine"

Tall grass and a blistering heat
I've got the burns on my back
Dirt on the soles of my feet
They say, "come here where the air is sweet
Play the game we're playing"
I heard them saying

"Here's where you lose your mind
The water here's divine
You're doing just fine
Come on darling
Don't you want to shine?"

Here's where you lose your mind
We lose it all the time
Look up, darling, and you'll find
We're not that different losing brilliance
Every time we want to shine
