When I've gone too far
When I've had enough
When I've losin' ground
Feelin' out of touch
I don't run and hide
I just look inside
For a simple peace of mind
Like a neighborhood
On a city street
I know the path
It knows my feet
And when I feel afraid
Feel like checkin' out
You stand up and take a bow
You shine when others need you
You speak and I believe you
I know the light, it guides you
I'll join the line that walks behind you
You shine, you shine
Like a window to your heart I see
All the possibilities
You shine, you shine
And everyday is another opportunity
to shine
The way you see the world
The way it sees you back
You're the photographer
You take the photograph
If you don't like the way
The way it looks at you
You've got all the power to choose
Turn right, turn left, turn the other way
Make it light, make it dark, make it
go away
I love to way you write the script to your own life
You're the star, you're on tonight
And when I feel unnoticed
Just two steps away from hopeless
You turn my world around with a single smile
That's who you are, that's who you are
You shine, you shine
Like a window to your heart I see all the possibilities
You shine, you shine
And everyday us another opportunity
to shine
To shine
I know the light, the light that guides
I'll join the line that walk behind you
You shine, you shine
In my life I know you shine
You shine
Like a window to your heart I see all the possibilities
You shine
And everyday is another opportunity
To shine
When I've had enough
When I've losin' ground
Feelin' out of touch
I don't run and hide
I just look inside
For a simple peace of mind
Like a neighborhood
On a city street
I know the path
It knows my feet
And when I feel afraid
Feel like checkin' out
You stand up and take a bow
You speak and I believe you
I know the light, it guides you
I'll join the line that walks behind you
You shine, you shine
Like a window to your heart I see
All the possibilities
You shine, you shine
And everyday is another opportunity
to shine
The way it sees you back
You're the photographer
You take the photograph
If you don't like the way
The way it looks at you
You've got all the power to choose
Turn right, turn left, turn the other way
Make it light, make it dark, make it
go away
I love to way you write the script to your own life
You're the star, you're on tonight
Just two steps away from hopeless
You turn my world around with a single smile
That's who you are, that's who you are
Like a window to your heart I see all the possibilities

to shine
To shine
I'll join the line that walk behind you
You shine, you shine
In my life I know you shine
You shine
Like a window to your heart I see all the possibilities
You shine
And everyday is another opportunity
To shine

this song is about jesus. it's just disguised as a cheesy pop song, but it's really a jesus song. a lot of their songs are jesus songs disguised as cheesy pop songs.
i am disgusted.
not neccesarily. but after reading the lyrics again that does make sense. but my first impression was that its about a friend who doesnt really care what others think of them. so whenever they look at that one person they just feel so happy and refreshed knowing that its possible to be happy with yourself like that. [the 'jesus theory' does make sense. but we'll never know unless they [aly&aj] tell us what its about]
I don't mind that it's about Jesus, even though i'm not religious. This is one of their nicest sounding songs; very well sung.
I agree with the Jesus thing.
