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?"

Chorus
