X22. Shine
Newsboys, CD Going Public
VERSE 1:
F                                          G/E
Dull as dirt, you can't assert the kind of light that might
Am                       Am/G
persuade a strict dictator to retire fire the army, teach the poor
F                                            G
origami.  The truth is in, the proof is when you hear your heart
C
start asking, What's my motivation?

F                                      G/E
And try as you may, there isn't a way to explain the kind of change
Am                                     Am/G
that would make an eskimo renounce fur, that would make a vegetarian
F                               G
barbecue hamster unless you can trace this about-face to a certain sign.

CHORUS:
C                                 F
Shine, make em wonder what you've got, make em wish that they
C                           F
were not, on the outside looking bored.
C                              F                              C
Shine, let it shine before all men, let em see good works and then,
F
let em glorify the lord.

VERSE 2:
F                                              G/E
Out of the shaker and onto the plate, it isn't karma, it sure
Am
ain't fate that would make a deadhead sell his van, that would make a
Am/G                                F
schizophrenic turn in his crayons.  Oprah freaks, and science seeks a
G                                     C
rationale that shall excuse this strange behavior.
F                                          G/E
When you let it shine, you will inspire the kind of entire turnaround
Am                        Am/
that would make a bouncer take ballet (even bouncers who aren't happy)
F                                                       G
but out of the glare, with nowhere to turn, you ain't gonna learn it
