Joel Wanasek - Shine On lyrics

What you are, what you are now What you are what you want to be I could not make my promise to you There's a sudden change in sound Cascading words that drown you out Like a tidal wave Like diamonds, we're built with time We've come a long way to change our minds Like diamonds, we're built with time It's a long way, such a long wait so Shine on, shine, up and up we go To the back, to the back we'll run What I am, what I am now I'm a man of something more I could not break my promise to you There's a constant running thought That teaches what we ought to be But we'll break away Like diamonds, we're built with time We've come a long way to change our minds Like diamonds, we're built with time It's a long way, such a long wait so
