Lyrics

Let It Shine

[Intro]

Let it shine, oh let it shine

Let it shine, oh let it shine

Let it shine, oh let it shine

Let it shine, oh let it shine

[Verse 1]

Shadows fall

The ocean calls to me

The night is still

She's where I wanna be

The stars all send their silver light to me

Forever shine on me eternally

I couldn't think of anything

That gives me more than what you bring

The color of an endless dream

[Refrain]

Let it shine

Let it shine, whoa

[Chorus]

Here comes a burning fire

It fills me with desire

And all my troubles disappear

Feels like it's goin' through me

Whatever you do to me

Your words are magic to my ears

Whoa

(Let it shine)

[Verse 2]

A flame that grows and burns so deep in me

Somebody cries for all the world to see

Another time, there will be ecstasy

Another place, you will be next to me

Of all the lives that I've been through

I never really thought it was true

That all I ever needed was you

[Refrain]

Let it shine

Let it shine

[Bridge]

Let it shine, oh let it shine

Let it shine, oh let it shine

Let it shine, oh let it shine

Let it shine, oh let it shine

[Chorus]

There comes a burning fire

It fills me with desire

And all my troubles disappear

Feels like it's goin' through me

Whatever you do to me

Your words are magic to my ears

Whoa

(Let it shine)

[Outro]

There comes a burning fire

It fills me with desire

And all my troubles disappear

Feels like it's goin' through me

Whatever you do to me

Your words are magic to my ears

Whoa
