I was just a kid in school, maybe nine or ten I guess,
I only had a friend or two, I was never teacher's pet.
I'd be staring out the window at
that old cyclone fence
Watching the light dance,
silvery sun trance
It's still what I do best
Cause all the glitters could be gold
I never believed what I was told
How am I supposed to see
With mirror balls spinning around me
I might be dancing out of time
Jumping from your song back to mine
Lord, forgive me of my sins
Oh, I do love shiny things
I was just a girl in love
At least that's what I thought I'd guess
I had a shiny brand new heart
And my sweet grandmother's dress
And it could have been forever
Like a diamond in that ring
But my heart didn't listen
To what didn't glisten
And I wouldn't change
a thing
Cause all the glitters could be gold
I never believed what I was told
How am I supposed to see
With mirror balls spinning around me?
I might be dancing out of time
Jumping from your song back to mine
Lord, forgive me of my sins
Oh, I do love shiny thing
s
Wish I could tell the kid in school
Everything's gonna be alright
Take a chance and play the fool,
stand in your own spotlight
And it won't take forever,
till it's your song you sing
Keep turning your head and never regret,
love and shiny things
Cause all the glitters could be gold
I never believed what I was told
How am I supposed to see
With mirror balls spinning around me?
I might be dancing out of time
Jumping from your song back to mine
Lord, forgive me of my sin s
Oh, I do love shiny things
Love that shiny thing
