(Shine on, shine)

[Verse 1]
What you are, what you are now
What you are, what you want to be
I could not break my promise to you
There's a sudden change in sound
Cascading words that drown you out
Like a tidal wave

[Pre-Chorus]
Like diamonds, we're built with time
We've come a long way to change our minds
Like diamonds, we're built with time
We've come a long way, it's such a long wait

[Chorus]
Shine on, shine
Up and up we go
To the back, to the back we'll run
Shine on, shine
Up and up we go
To the back, to the back we'll run

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Like diamonds, we're built with time
We've come a long way to change our minds
Like diamonds, we're built with time
We've come a long way, it's such a long wait

[Chorus]
Shine on, shine
Up and up we go
To the back, to the back we'll run
Shine on, shine
Up and up we go
To the back, to the back we'll run

[Pre-Chorus]
Like diamonds, we're built with time
We've come a long way to change our minds
Like diamonds, we're built with time
We've come a long way, it's such a long wait

[Chorus]
Shine on, shine
Up and up we go
To the back, to the back we'll run
Shine on, shine
Up and up we go
To the back, to the back we'll run
