Written and performed by Jeff Smith Jeff Smith Music
There’s this moment where you begin to bring the dream to life and the universe delivers. Jeff Smith is a musician I’ve followed for some time because he and I are spirit friends — like that kind of knowing, but mostly because he breathes music. His voice, style, range of earthy, gritty, heart wide-open songs to up beat joyful ukulele-accompanied tunes is amazing.
‘Shine’ was Jeff’s 100% creation based on knowing me a bit and really understanding the purpose of the show. This song will make you smile, hug and basically, feel good.
Lyrics:
SHINE
Words & Music by: Jeff Smith
VERSE 1
Cut loose your failures
I’ll listen to your story
Come with your truth
And I’ll show you your glory
I’ll lay down your burden
I’ll carry your sorrow
Break down your walls now
There’s nothing to defend
I’ll fight the war inside you
Win you peace instead
Come with your hope
And I’ll bring you tomorrow
PRE-CHORUS
Let your dreams become unhinged
Let the song inside you sing
Keep your heart forever young
You’ll glisten in the sun.
CHORUS
Open the blinds
Open your eyes
Step out of the shadows
I’ll be by your side
you can shine
Shine
Rise from the ashes
You made it alive
Nothing’s holding you back now
Step Into the light
You can shine
Shine
VERSE 2
The road is unpredictable
Don’t know where life’s going
Tonight these streets are ours
We embrace the unknowing
Take my hand trust you can
And I’ll show you the morning
Dare to believe again
In your dreams that were scattered
I’ll pick up all the pieces
Rebuild what was shattered
Just give me your faith
And I’ll show you the mattered
PRE-CHORUS
Let your dreams become unhinged
Let the song inside you sing
Keep your heart forever young
You’ll glisten in the sun.
CHORUS
Open the blinds
Open your eyes
Step out of the shadows
I’ll be by your side
you can shine
Shine
Rise from the ashes
You made it alive
Nothing’s holding you back now
Step Into the light
You can shine
Shine
BRIDGE
Open the blinds
Open your eyes
Step out of the shadows
I’ll be by your side
you can shine
Shine
OUTRO
(Woh oh oh oh)
Come on and shine
Come on and shine
(Woh oh oh oh)
I want to see you shine
I want to see you shine
So come on and
So come on and
So come on and
Shine.
