Shine, the Holiday Version, Written and Performed by LARA OSHON
The
words are printed below so you can sing along. Wouldn’t it be fun to collect
your own fave photos and make your own holiday video - or slide show - as you
sing “Shine”?
Shine (Copyright Lara Oshon 2011)
Good morning sunshine it’s a beautiful day outside, This world was made just for you
My words cannot express your gorgeous loveliness, You’re everything and then some too
(CHORUS)
You were born to shine, Little sister all you have is time
You were born to shine, Let it through
Good morning sunshine it’s cold and dark outside, Sometimes this life is hard to do
But pain cannot suppress your powerful awesomeness, You’re gonna rise from this one too
(CHORUS)
You were born to shine, put your trembling hand in mine
You were born to shine, Let it through
You don’t have to know how to do it, or believe that it’s true
But looking at you I see sunshine… (hold) So I’ll reflect it back to you
(Repeat first verse)
(FINAL CHORUS)
You were born to shine, My brother it’s about time
You were born to shine, what you gonna do?
You were born to shine………..
You were born to shine, let it through
You were born to shine, take my hand and we’ll be fine
You were born to shine……..
So let it through…….
