About Shine

"Shine" was the first single to be released from Shannon Noll's second album, Lift. It was released in Australia on 26 September 2005, and debuted at number one on the Australian Singles Chart. "Shine" was the number one most added song to radio upon release, eventually going on to spend eleven consecutive weeks at number one on the Australian Airplay Chart - a record that still remains today. The track was seen as a real departure from the country-tinged rock and balladry of Noll's debut album. Written by Canadian songwriter Andy Stochansky, who also recorded the song for inclusion on one of his albums, "Shine" not only ruled radio airwaves in 2005, but also found itself in the Top 10 most played songs of the following year also. "Shine" was released as a single in the UK in April 2009, coinciding with Shannon's run in the stage version of Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds.

Get up, get out, get out, get out and lift your head
Come on, come on, get up out of bed
Today's the day you hold the world with your song
Go now, go now, go now, help escalate
Angels come down, help with this parade
To hear your voice ring out

This is the day that we've been waiting for
All the world will stop to watch you shine

Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now sing your hymn
This is the new national anthem
We will all stand on guard to let you be heard
Let go, let go, let go all that can ask
How beautiful this world has become
Now everyone will see what I believe
That these words should be sung

This is the day that we've been waiting for
All the world will stop to watch you shine
This is the time
This is the day that we've been waiting for
All the world believes that you will shine

And if you fall
And if you fall
And if you trust and
Yes it will come true

Hey, hey
Yeah!

This is the time
This is the day that we've been waiting for
All the world will stop to watch you shine
This is the time
This is the day that we've been waiting for
When all the world will stop to watch you shine
