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 

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 

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 

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
