Shine I'll stand by you Don't try and push me away 'Cause I'm just gonna stay You can shine I won't deny you And don't be afraid it'll all be ok Do you know my name Well I ain't gonna take That big time line Won't be beat by a lie Gonna call out to these embers Waiting to ignite Gonna pull you up By your love, by your love And tell you Shine I'll stand by you... I can see the frown you wear All around like some faded crown Like a watch over wound Gonna call down to this diamond Buried underground Gonna pull you up By your love, by your love And tell you When it's said and done What you need will come And time won't let me Let you let me waste it this time Shine...
