Shine (Greatest Hits Album Version) - Newsboys
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
And try as you may
There isn't a way
To explain the kind of change
That would make an Eskimo
Renounce fur
That would make a vegetarian
Barbecue hamster
Unless you can trace this about-face
To a certain sign
Shine
Make 'em wonder what you've 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 would make a Deadhead
Sell his van
That would 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 ain'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've 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 shine
Shine shine
Shine shine
Shine shine
Shine shine
Shine shine
Shine shine
Shine shine
Shine shine
Shine shine
Shine
Make 'em wonder what you've 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've 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
