i will not conform any longer...

im not afraid to be weird. "weird," meaning different from the "normal" lifestyle that society has created over the years. so many things are wrong in this world today that many times it's difficult to find something that's RIGHT with it. just look at the television shows airing now. all these reality shows and whatnot trying to show that skimpy clothing and sex is "reality." but then again, i guess it really is. just look around. billboards, movies, internet, everywhere you turn, there's sexual content. movies are flooded with strong language and drug content and sexual content. so in today's world, if you don't cuss, if you don't do drugs, if you don't have sex, if you if you if you, the list goes on and on; if you don't do these things, then you're weird. so how about this? let's all be weirdos.

the world's full of temptations. let's shine through the darkness and make 'em wonder what we got.

Shine
- Newsboys

Dull as dirt,
You can't assert
The kinda light that might persuade
A strict dictator to retire
Fire the army,
Teach the poor origami.
The truth is in,
The proof is when you hear your heart start asking
What's my motivation?
And try as you may
There is no way
To explain the kinda change
That'd make an eskimo renounce fur
That'd make a vegetarian barbeque hamster
Unless you can trace this about-face to a certain Sign

Shine.
Make'em wonder whatcha got.
Make'em wish that they were not
On the outside looking bored.
Shine.
Let it shine before all men.
Let em see good works and then
Let em glorify the lord.

Out of the shaker and onto the plate,
It isn't karma it sure ain't fate
That would make a deadhead sell his van
That would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayons
Oprah freaks
And science geeks
A rationale that shall excuse this strange behavior
when you let it Shine
You will inspire the kind of entire turnaround
That would make a bouncer take ballet
Even bouncers who are unhappy
But out of the glare
With nowhere to turn
You ain't gonna learn it on "What's my Line?"

Shine.
Make'em wonder whatcha got.
Make'em wish that they were not
On the outside looking bored.
Shine.
Let it shine before all men.
Let em see good works and then
Let em glorify the lord.

Shine.
