You watch them watch you You want them to Then their faces fade away You worked your whole life To show them all that You have what it takes to shine Cause no one has, what you have And no one ever will You have heart And thats all you need Youre gonna shine for them Shine for them Shine No matter what it takes, youll shine Well, life got complicated And no one ever waited And your son grew into a man And all you wanted was to be loved Was strangling all your chances to shine But youd show them all That you make them fall Cause they didnt understand a thing about The way youd shine Oh you shine Youre gonna shine for them Shine for them Shine No matter what took you shine Now youre on the best stage And in your best dress But the show is not for you Its a clown with a frown In from out of town And your hairdos falling And theyre filing out and My God the clown is you But you dance for someone that smiles at you And drift into the shadows of yourself Off you go But you shine for him Shine for him Shine And now its time for them to shine for you Shine for them Shine for them Shine
