Shine Lyrics

Lyrics
Ooh ooh
Ooh yeah
When the world counts you out
When you're lost and you doubt
That you're good enough
When you're out on your own
And you're feeling all alone
Just keep hanging on
'Cause it don't matter what you're made of
Believe in yourself
And keep your head up, yeah
Don't you know that you can
Shine, shine, shine
And together we will
Shine, shine, shine
Be strong and you will
Shine, shine, shine
Shine on, shine on
Sometimes life isn't fair
Seems like nobody cares
'Bout you anymore
Well as hard as it seems
Nothing's out of reach
All is possible, yeah yeah
Oh, 'cause it don't matter what you're made of
Believe in yourself
And keep your head up
Don't you know that you can
Shine, shine, shine
And together we will
Shine, shine, shine
Be strong and you will
Shine, shine, shine
Shine on, shine on, yeah
Oh yeah, ooh ooh
Shine like a star
'Cuz that's the way you are, baby
Oh yeah yeah
Shine like a star
'Cuz that's the way you really are, baby
Oh oh
'Cause it don't matter what you're made of
Believe in yourself and keep your head up
'Cause it don't matter where you came from
You can do anything
Just try, try, try, oh yeah
Don't you know that you can
Shine, shine, shine
And together we will
Shine, shine, shine
Be strong and you will
Shine, shine, shine
Oh, shine on, oh yeah yeah
Shine, shine, shine
And together we will
Shine, shine, shine
Together we will
Shine, shine, shine
Shine on, yeah
Got to, got to
Got to, got to shine on, yeah
Ooh yeah
Shine like a star
'Cuz that's the way you are, baby
Ooh yeah yeah, yeah baby
Shine like a star
'Cuz that's the way you really are, baby
Yeah yeah yeah, hoo
Shine like a star
'Cuz that's the way you are, baby
Shine, got to shine, got to shine
Shine like a star
'Cuz that's the way you are, baby
Ooh hoo
