ALY & AJ LYRICS

"Shine"

When I've gone too far
When I've had enough
When I'm losin' ground
Feelin' out of touch
I don't run and hide
I just look inside
For a simple piece 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

[Chorus]
You shine, you shine
Like a window to your heart I see
All the possibilities
You shine, you shine
And everyday's 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 the 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 back from hopeless
You turn my world around with a single smile
That's who you are, that's who you are

[Chorus]

I know the light, the light that guides
I'll join the line that walks 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's another opportunity
To shine

Answer 1

yes i suppose...i sing that song dedicating it to the actor i admire in a platonic way so hes basically like a role model to me.

it definitely sounds like a role model type song to me...
although does this role model keep you from being afraid? thats the only line i would worry about

Answer 2

If you want a song for a role model use the song "Did you ever know that your my hero?".

Answer 3

I agree with mr mackie, only that the title of the song he speaks about is "wind beneath my wings", i think.
