Shine it out

springtime, walking around with you
trying to step into the sun
thinking we're old enough
thinking we've only begun

but then sometimes
the world is so grey and old
everything seems such a bind
people are cold and unkind
makes you want to run

if we want to live
we've got to shine it out
we've got to be strong if we want to belong
if we want to bring about a change
if we want to sail
we've got to row the boat away
while we're young

feeling, everything could be right
good days are just round the bend
life will be easy
and we'll never need to pretend

but believing
is easier said than done
nothing could be such a breeze
so many people to please
makes you want to run
