You watch them watch you,
you want them too...
Then their faces fade away.
You worked your whole life
to show them all that you have what it takes to shine.

'Cause no one has what you have,
and no one ever will.
You have heart,
and that's all you need.

You're gonna shine for them,
shine for them.
Shine...
No matter what it takes you'll shine.

Well, life got complicated,
and no one ever waited,
and you, son, grew into a man.
And all you wanted was to be loved,
but it ended up fitting you like some glove,
'twas strangling all your changes to shine.
But you'd show them all,
that you'd make them fall,
'cause they didn't understand a thing about
the way you'd shine.
Och, you shine...

You're gonna shine for them,
shine for them.
Shine...
No matter what it takes you'll shine.

Now you're on the best stage,
and you're in your best dress,
but the show is not for you.
It's a clown with a frown,
in from out of town.
And your hairdo's falling,
and they're filling out, and...
my God, the clown is you.

But you dance for someone that smiles at you,
and drift into the shadows of yourself...
Off you go.

But you shine for him!
Shine for him.
Shine...
And now it's time for them to shine for you.

Shine for them!
Shine for them.
Shine...
That's all you do.

Well, our show will miss you,
and I'd love to kiss you,
but you're flowing far away...
