We wanted to shine
Shine like new
Something more fine
Something more true
Cause this was our time
We knew what we knew
We wanted to shine
Shining for you
We'd been around the block once or twice
We had to settle, had to compromise
We never knew what it felt like to be understood
We didn't want to try to hang the moon
All we wanted was to call the tune
And for a minute or two, it felt like we could
We wanted to shine
Shine like new
Something more fine
Something more true
Cause this was our time
We knew what we knew
We wanted to shine
Shining for you
Get it right, there's no one there to see it
Get it wrong, they shine the light on you
Mama never really wants to know
Daddy never even saw the show
I can't believe that I care after all of this time
But it's burning still in my mind
We wanted to shine
Shine like new
Something more fine
Something more true
Cause this was our time
We knew what we knew
We wanted to shine
Shining for you
We wanted to shine
Shining for
We didn't want to try to hang the moon
All we wanted was to call the tune
And for a minute or two, oh it felt like we could
