Sometimes the mirror's are too clear   For the whispers in your ear   With that magazine just tellin' you   To lose another pound      Work hard, don't have too much fun   Don't look too old, don't act too young   And you're wearin' thin   'Cos everybody's tryin' to bring you down      Wipe the tears from your eyes   You can change it all tonight   Be yourself, yeah      And shine, don't let them take your sun away   Don't listen to the words they say   You can't let anybody take away that smile      Don't let them steal your dream away   'Cos even on those rainy days   It's your world and nobody can shine like you      What is real and what is not   Only depends on what you got   Runnin' round inside your head   It's so dark it's hard to tell      Will I hate myself today   Or will I find the strength to say   God help me feel the freedom   Of the love inside myself      Wipe the tears on your eyes   You can change it all tonight   Be yourself, yeah      And shine, don't let them take your sun away   Don't listen to the words they say   You can't let anybody take away that smile      Don't let them steal your dream away   'Cos even on those rainy days   It's your world and nobody can shine like you      Wipe the tears from your eyes   You can change it all, ohh      Shine, don't let them take your sun away   Don't listen to the words they say   You can't let anybody take away that smile      Don't let them steal your dream away   'Cos even on those rainy days   It's your world and nobody can shine like you   It's your world and nobody can shine like you
