Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples
None rings truer than this

Shine
Album: Going Public
_______
dull as dirt
dull as dirt
you can´t assert the kind of light
that might persuadea strict dictator to retire
fire the armyteach the poor origami
the truth is inthe 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...
_______
Chorus:
___
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 on
to the plateit isn´t Karma

that would make a Deadhead sell his van
that would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayons
Oprah freak
sand science seeks a rationale
that shall excuse
this strange behavior
______
when you let it shine
you will inspire
the kind of entire turnaround
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?"

Gonna quiz the neighbor kid with the fish on his car

Like those who have no hope
