Shine

I knew this kid Must have been years ago Always a fool Still a good friend to know Lost in his mind Held back by detriments Poured gasoline Onto all of his prospects Everyday we all are just trying to survive Things change, but we cannot live in decline We try to make our own world come to life And we, us all, we all try to shine She was a friend Unsure who he could be Felt trapped by fate Controlled by misery Last time I heard Made her way somewhere West Like everyone Just trying her best Everyday we all are just trying to survive Things change, but we cannot live in decline We try to make our own world come to life And we, us all, we all try to shine Kicked around Out of touch Just because we are a mess Doesn't mean that we can't progress Everyday we all are just trying to survive Things change, but we cannot live in decline We try to make our own world come to life And we, us all, we all try to shine When I was young Never made any plans Now that im grown Just don't want this to end
