Pebbles on the beach
Thousands of them
Millions of them
There they are
Pilled up
Pebbles on the beach
Waiting for the tide
When the tide comes
Water will cover them
They will shine
Pebbles on the beach
The tide goes
The sun comes
The water evaporates
They no longer shine
Pebbles on the beach
We can all be
Waiting for something
Waiting for it
To make us shine
There among the pebbles
A beautiful shell
It’s different
It doesn’t need water
It shines itself
We can believe
We are a pebble
We can believe we are a shell
It is a choice we make
Shine your light
