Story Behind The Song
I've spent much of my life arguing with myself about the chances I should or shouldn't take. I've held myself back more than anyone else. I've had great ideas and then failed to execute. I am two people.

Lyrics
Let It Shine
by Buster Fayte
You're a star under cover
Unrecognized and undiscovered
Let it out, out from under
You've got to let it shine
You're a stamp made from rubber
Every day is like the other
Keep it down well and covered
No one can see it shine
There's conflict thriving in your mind
Keeps you off balance all the time
You think it's there yet you wonder
Should you just let it shine
You're a muse, smart and clever
Rare insight and with rolled together
Classic and poignant, relevant ever
You've got to let it shine
You're a cog with a number
Interchangeable with another
Don't push too hard, you might not recover
If you let 'em see you shine
