Little girl lost in a lonely part of town
A playground of broken windows
Haunted by the memory of what it once was
Before dreams were shattered…
Dirty man on my subway car
Ignored and pushed out of the way
Talking to himself, singing his own song
A melody, only he remembers
Let him shine
Let him shine
Let him shine again
Let him, Let him, Let him
Now she sees her reflection, it’s all clouded
Her hardened hands have seen softer days
She breathes a heavy sigh
Picks up the pieces but it all just falls away
Let her shine
Let her shine
Let her shine again
Let her shine again
But all their emotions keep on dragging them down
It gives me such a heavy heart
That there’s so many ways that I am pulled apart…apart…apart…
And her heart is on her sleeve, no hibernation
To hide away her fear…
Is it now? Will it be now?
Is her long midnight over?
Let me shine
Let me shine
Let me shine again
Let me shine again
