Shine a Light lyrics

[MS. FLEMING]
Deep inside of everyone, there's a hot ball of shame
Guilt, regret, anxiety, fears we dare not name
But if we show the ugly parts that we hide away
They turn out to be beautiful by the light of day

[MS. FLEMING, STUDENTS, MS. FLEMING & STUDENTS]
Why not shine, shine, shine a light
On your deepest fear?
Let in sunlight now
And your pain will disappear
Shine, shine, shine
And your scars and your flaws (Ooh)
Will look lovely because you shine
You shine a light

Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light (Ooh)

[STONER CHICK, STUDENTS]
Every day's a battlefield (Ooh)
When pride's on the line (Ooh)

[PREPPY STUD, STUDENTS]
I attack your weaknesses (Ooh)
[STONER CHICK, PREPPY STUD & MS. FLEMING, STUDENTS]
And pray you don't see mine (Ooh)

[BELEAGUERED GEEK, STUDENTS]
But if I share my ugly parts (Ooh)

[BELEAGUERED GEEK, NEW WAVE GIRL & MS. FLEMING, STUDENTS]
And you show me yours (Ooh)
Our love can knock our walls down (Ooh)
And unlock all our doors (Ah)

[MS. FLEMING, STUDENTS, MS. FLEMING & STUDENTS]
Come on, shine, shine, shine a light
On your deepest fear
Let in sunlight now
And your pain will disappear

[MS. FLEMING]
Who wants to share what's in their heart?
No volunteers? Fine, I'll start
My name's Pauline, I live alone
My husband left, my kids are grown
In the sixties, love was free
That did not work out well for me
The revolution came and went
Tried to change the world, barely made a dent
I have struggled with despair
I've joined a cult, chopped off my hair
I chant, I pray, but God's not there
So Steve, I'm ending our affair
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
And I faked it, every single time
Hoo, that feels fan-freakin'-tastic
One, two, take me home, kids

[MS. FLEMING, STUDENTS, MS. FLEMING & STUDENTS]
Shine, shine, shine a light
On your deepest fear
Let in sunlight now
And your pain will disappear
Shine, shine, shine
And your scars and your flaws (Ooh)
Will look lovely because you shine
(Ahh) You shine, you shine a light

Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light (Yeah)
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine a light, yeah!
