Shine - Richard Marx

The tree you planted

Is still holding on Leaves are turning

Like nothing’s wrong

Oh, what freedom

To only need the rain

Been without since May, ninety-four

Tricks of the mind make it feel like it’s more

But I’m not special

It’s the same for everyone

Hold on, baby

I’m coming for you

I can hear your voice through the wine

Teach me how to turn the page

And show me how to shine

Times I wished I was already gone

Ain’t no place I can’t leave when I want

But then I see their faces

And I’m frozen in my shame

Sometimes the sun shuts down the little I can see

And I remember what it felt like to be me

But all at once I know that nothing is the same

And all I’m left with is the pain
