Shine a Light
Heathers the Musical Ensemble
[MS. FLEMING]
Deep inside of everyone
There's a hot ball of shame
Guilt, regret, anxiety
Fears we dare not name
But, if we show the ugly parts
That we hide away
They turn out to be beautiful
By the light of day!
 
Why not-
 
[COMPANY]
Shine, shine, shine a light!
 
[MS. FLEMING]
On your deepest fears!
 
[COMPANY]
Let in sunlight now
 
[MS. FLEMING]
And your pain will disappear!
 
[COMPANY]
Shine, shine, shine
 
[MS. FLEMING]
And your scars and your flaws
 
[COMPANY]
Will look lovely because you shine!
 
[MS. FLEMING]
You shine a light
 
[COMPANY]
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light
 
[STONER CHICK]
Everyday's a battlefield
When pride's on the line
 
[PREPPY]
I attack your weaknesses
 
[STONER CHICK & MS. FLEMING]
And pray you don't see mine
 
[BITTER GEEK]
But if I share my ugly parts
 
[BITTER GEEK, GOTH GIRL & MS. FLEMING]
And you show me yours
 
[BITTER GEEK & GOTH GIRL]
Our love can knock our walls down
 
[BITTER GEEK, GOTH GIRL, STONER CHICK, PREPPY & MS. FLEMING]
And unlock all our-
 
[BITTER GEEK, GOTH GIRL, STONER CHICK & PREPPY]
Doors!
 
[MS. FLEMING]
Go on-
 
[MS. FLEMING & COMPANY]
Shine, shine, shine a light
 
[MS. FLEMING]
On your deepest fears!
 
[COMPANY]
Let in sunlight now
 
[MS. FLEMING]
And your pain will-
 
[MS. FLEMING & COMPANY]
Disappear!
 
[MS. FLEMING]
Who wants to share what's in their heart?
No volunteers? Fine, I'll start
My name's Pauline
I live alone
My husband left
My kids are grown
In the 60s love was free
That did not work out well for me
The revolution came and went
Tried to change the world
Barely made a dent
I have struggled with despair
I've joined a cult
Chopped off my hair
I chant, I prayed, but god's not there
So Steve! I'm ending our affair!
And I faked it, every single time
Woo, that feels fan-freaking-tastic
1, 2, take me home kids!
 
[COMPANY]
Shine, shine, shine a light
 
[MS. FLEMING]
On your deepest fears!
 
[COMPANY]
Let in sunlight now
 
[MS. FLEMING]
And your pain will disappear!
 
[COMPANY]
Shine, shine, shine
 
[MS. FLEMING]
And your scars and your flaws
 
[MS. FLEMING & Company]
Will look lovely because you shine!
 
[MS. FLEMING]
You shine, you shine a liiiiiiiiiiiight
 
[COMPANY]
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light
 
[MS. FLEMING]
Yeah!
 
[MS. FLEMING & COMPANY]
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine, shine, shine a light
Shine a light! YEAH!
