about
I recorded this as a solo acoustic song on The Amazing Beautiful, and because it is a buddhist song, I wanted to include it in this collection. This time I gave it a bigger production.
lyrics
LET YOURSELF SHINE (Walsh)
If I were the sun
The clouds would always part
Everything depends
On what is in your heart
CHORUS
Let yourself shine
Let yourself shine
Let yourself shine shine shine shine shine
Let yourself shine
Let yourself shine
Let yourself shine shine shine shine shine
If I were the wind
The mighty trees would bend
Underneath a love
That never ends
CHORUS
If I were a cloud
Skipping across the sky
I'd love a rainy day
My tears would always dry
CHORUS
CHORUS
If I were the sun
The clouds would always part
Everything depends
On what is in your heart
CHORUS
Let yourself shine
Let yourself shine
Let yourself shine shine shine shine shine
Let yourself shine
Let yourself shine
Let yourself shine shine shine shine shine
If I were the wind
The mighty trees would bend
Underneath a love
That never ends
CHORUS
If I were a cloud
Skipping across the sky
I'd love a rainy day
My tears would always dry
CHORUS
CHORUS
