Jake Owen - Nothin' Grows In Shadows lyrics

rate me

Hey you kids, bullying the kids down at your school

One of these days you're gonna grow up, be ashamed

Who gave you the right to decide who is and who aint cool

Who could sit at your table and be on your team and play your games

CHORUS

Let 'em shine, shine like a diamond

Give 'em time and you'll find they're a snow-covered rose

God's light shines for everybody

So get outta His way

Nothin grows in shadows

Hey fathers, screamin' at your kids from the bleachers

Saying "quit actin like a sissy, suck it up and win"

Maybe you ought'a stop and think about what you're teaching

Yeah you talk about a loser, I don't think it's them

CHORUS

Let 'em shine, shine like a diamond

Give 'em time and you'll find they're a snow-covered rose

God's light shines for everybody

So get outta His way

Nothin grows in shadows

Well I aint sayin' I aint been a shadow myself

A dark cloud that rained on somebody else

Well I learned a lesson that I need to tell

The doctor that saved my mommas life

Helped beat her cancer, made sure she got well

Was a kid I went to school with all my life

Man I used to give him hell

CHORUS

Let 'em shine, shine like a diamond

Give 'em time and you'll find they're a snow-covered rose

God's light shines for everybody

So get outta His way

Nothin grows in shadows

Oh get outta His way

Nothin grows in shadows
