Recorded by Jake Owen
Album : Easy Does It
[Intro]
D x 8measures
Hey, you Dkids, Gbullyin' the kids down at Ayour school
One of these days you're gonna Ggrow up, be ashamed
Who gave Dyou the right to de- Gcide who is and who Aain't cool
Who could sit at your Gtable and be on your team and play your games
[Chorus]
Let 'em Gshine, shine like a Ddiamond
Give 'em Atime and you'll find there's no cover Drose
God's Glight shines for every- DbodyG  
So get out-ta DHis way, Anothin' grows in Dshadows
Hey, you Dfathers, Gscreamin' at your Akids from the bleachers
Sayin' "quit actin' like a Gsissy, suck it up and win"
Maybe Dyou ought'a Gstop and think a- About what you're teachin'
Yeah, you talk about a Gloser, I don't think it's them
[Chorus]
Let 'em Gshine, shine like a Ddiamond
Give 'em Atime and you'll find there's no cover Drose
God's Glight shines for every- DbodyG  
So get out-ta DHis way, Anothin' grows in Dshadows
Well, GI aint sayin' I aint been a shadow myself
A Ddark cloud that rained on somebody else
AWell, I learned a lesson that I need to tell
The Ddoctor that saved my mommas life,
helped beat her cancer, made sure she got well,
was a kid I went to school with all my lifeG  
Man, I used to give him hell
[Chorus]
Let 'em Gshine, shine like a Ddiamond
Give 'em Atime and you'll find there's no cover Drose
God's Glight shines for every- DbodyG  
So get out-ta DHis way, Anothin' grows in Dshadows
GOh, get out-ta DHis way, Anothin' grows in shadowsD
