Shine - Wear Your Wounds

Never put the past to bed

And never found a place of rest maybe

Some other time

Though you gave your very best

You left behind such an empty nest those times

Were not too kind

The flowers would explode in bloom

But somehow our weeds pushed through maybe

It was not our time

And sunshine would always come

To cast the shadows we were running from those times

Were never kind

A porcelain fragile hope

So beautiful that we broke maybe

Some other time

To the bruised boys and girls

Yearning for a better world these times

Are never kind

Your heart of skin and bones

Hungers with a raging glow this time

Could be your time

So I send goodwill to you

Tides are turning but rising too it’s time

Do or die, to shine
