Fav Songs Review: Shine by Newsboys

I OWN NOTHING BUT MY OWN OPINION! I DON'T OWN THE LYRICS AND I DID NOT MAKE THE VIDEO! ENJOY!

"Shine"

Dull as dirt
You can't assert the kind of light
That might persuade
A strict dictator to retire
Fire the army
Teach the poor origami
The truth is in
The proof is when
You hear your heart start asking,
"What's my motivation?"

And try as you may, there isn't a way
To explain the kind of change
That would make an Eskimo renounce fur
That would make a vegetarian barbecue hamster
Unless you can trace this about-face
To a certain sign...

[Chorus]
Shine
Make 'em wonder what you've got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside looking bored

Shine
Let it shine before all men
Let 'em see good works, and then
Let 'em glorify the Lord

Out of the shaker and onto the plate
It isn't Karma
It sure ain't fate
That would make a Deadhead sell his van
That would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayons
Oprah freaks
And science seeks a rationale
That shall excuse
This strange behavior

When you let it shine
You will inspire
The kind of entire turnaround
That would make a bouncer take ballet
(even bouncers who aren't happy)
But out of the glare
With nowhere to turn
You ain't gonna learn it on "What's My Line?"

     I grew up listening to this song ever since it first came out. That was many a years ago. Ever since then, I had been searching for this song but I could never remember what it was called--just a tune. Until one day, I heard a guy's phone go off in Wal-Mart and I said to him/shouted at him "What's that song called!!!" He told me it was Shine by Newsboys. So I then went home and looked it up on YouTube and listened to it, remembering all the memories of my years as a small child. Now I listen to it all the time and hope to show it to my friends. It's just one of those things where you feel like a song defines you.
