Jamie the Optimist - Shine On Lyrics

We are beautiful
We are strong
We are stars in the night sky
We gotta shine on
We just gotta shine our light
Just be who you are inside
Yeah we just gotta shine on

We just gotta shine on
Shine on
We just gotta shine on
Shine on
We just gotta shine on
Shine on
We just gotta shine on (yeah yeah yeah)

Ok ok ok what's the deal?
Mass hysteria
Everyday there's more hate and the world is looking scarier
Hearing screaming sounds that are coming from my radio
Even the big bad wolf saying aint nobody scared of you

But we're all beautiful entities
And we all got the remedy
Someday they'll build us an effigy
Got that positive energy
Giving hugs to our enemies
I'm never getting ahead of me
I might perform 'til I'm seventy
I only do what I expect of me (Yeah)

If they try to cut you down
Just put back the peices
If they tell you, you won't make it?
Just know that they don't have a reason

Shout out my mans Moose on the bass
Shout out to the whole human race
Shout out to time and space
And shout out Mt. Airy yeah that's my birthplace

I'm so thankful for the life I'm living
I'm so thankful for the gifts I've been given
I'm so thankful that this is my career
And that anybody wants to listen

Now I got a premonition
That everybody was living
With the same mission
Of equality not devision
Now I know it's an ambitious vision
But I think if we're all in it to win it then we can get it (Aye aye aye)

We are beautiful
We are strong
We are stars in the night sky
We gotta shine on
We just gotta shine our light
Just be who you are inside
Yeah we just gotta shine on

We just gotta shine on
Shine on
We just gotta shine on
Shine on
We just gotta shine on
Shine on
We just gotta shine on (Yeah yeah yeah)

How come in life it never goes as we plan it
I'm out of this world I guess I'm on the wrong planet
I think what the world needs now is a bandage
People are dying to young and I can't stand it

Now we got a ship but nobody who can man it
If we start loving each other we'd be able to manage
But lately my hearts been sinking like the titanic
Because our whole governments made out of bandits (Sheesh)

But we gotta stop think and regroup
Gotta take some time off and recoup
Gotta stop fighting don't want more recruits
And we all gotta start seeing the truth

I just wanna be wanna wanna be me yeah
I just wanna be wanna wanna be free yeah
I just wanna be free from hostility
All this hate that they're giving me
Can't hold me back
I just wanna be wanna wanna be me yeah
I just wanna be wanna wanna be free yeah
I just wanna be free from hostility
All this hate that they're giving me
Can't hold me back
