LYRICS
Music and Lyrics By RODGER HALSTON
COPYRIGHT 1996

SHINE
I hear a little music coming from a place down the road
That choir is singing an old familiar song
I listen closely the words and the harmony
It gets me thinking about the things that I really need
I analyze and scrutinize my life I begin to realize
There are things that I've never done quite right

"Chorus"
i need to show a little more love and tenderness
Reach out to others with a heart that can forgive
Take the time and effort to help out anyone
Because what you give will come back
Before its all said and done

I listen closely the what the wise man has to say
Heartache and misery is gonna find us all one day
There comes a time when we all are down and out
Desperate and lonely that's when we cry for help
Like the good book says what your reap is what you've sown
If I live by these and words and my troubled road won't seem so long

"Chorus"
"Bridge"
I'm gonna do it
I'm gonna turn my old life around
Start making changes
I'll do a little house cleaning now

As the choir slows way down I'm reminded of one thing
How my daddy told me son listen to what I say
Stand on your own to feet even if you stand alone
Be a man of your word and you never can go wrong
Boy out in the world you are gonna find
People don't care and they never ever have the time
"Bridge"
