Shine precious smile Hide my inner pain Cast your glow upon the world Shield me from the rain Glow precious smile Keep them guessing at my game Confuse the strong-minded Make them feel I am tame Glitter precious smile Conceal my plummeting faith Never falter in your mission Always close the gate Twinkle precious smile They will never know how I feel Be my protecting wall Lock up everything that is real Glisten precious smile Hold the door closed tight Shame the lit candle But never blow out its light Shimmer precious smile Contain every thought inside my heart Always lead me through the tunnel But never lead me from the dark

Should end with "Lock up everything that is real" A lot of repeated ideas, but the theme is good.
