SHINE YOUR LIGHT
c. 2009 Ryan Welton

VERSE 1:
I been doin' a lot of talkin'
And not enough listenin'
I been doin' a lot of preachin'
and not enough livin'

But I been watchin' you
Something you're doing must be right
Go on little mama
Enjoy the ride and shine your light


VERSE 2:
I been doin' a lot of workin'
And not enough playin'
I been doin' a lot of hopin'
And not enough prayin'

But I been watchin' you
Something you're doing must be right
Go on little mama
Enjoy the ride and shine your light

Shine your light for all to see
But you're no superstar to me
You're lookin' like the girl I rode bikes with every day
It was tough to see you go
But it's been great to see you grow
And, baby, I believe there's a lot that I can learn
Baby, so much that I can learn
Baby, so much that I can learn


VERSE 3:
I been doin' a lot of searchin'
A lot of soul eyein'
It's an ominous climb, but it's worth the time
And I'm gonna keep tryin'

But I'll be watchin' you
And all of them things that you're doin' right
Keep it up my baby
Enjoy the ride and shine your light

Dude, you are so talented. I'm so glad we've reconnected after 25 years! I may have a real shot at going pro here in Japan (it's a bit easier with jazz by nature because it is an American art form and I've got a bit of an edge with the English accent over my Japanese counter parts). If I do, I'd love to collaborate with you on songs or sing some of your originals. There's a BIG market for music here.
