Lyrics and Video:
Shine, shine, shine
There are so many wars right now in this world
There are so many things not right
There are too many people hurt in this world
There are too many men that fight
Time is now to make the change
Time is on our side
Love will make us glow in the dark
So open up your heart
Are you ready for a brand new start?
Shine
People, let your light shine
Let the darkness fade away
Step into a brighter day
Don’t forget about our world today
Let your light shine
Maybe the answer is just this simple song
Let everybody shine along
To keep the world from going wrong
Let your light shine
So many people with good heart in this world
So many, they can make a change
So the only thing that we have to do
Is love the one we hate
It will change all darkness into bright
It will touch everybody’s light
The whole world will be lighted
All people will be reunited
Shine
People, let your light shine
Let the darkness fade away
Step into a brighter day
Don’t forget about the role you must play
Let your light shine
Maybe the answer is just this simple song
Let everybody shine along
To keep the world from going wrong
Let your light shine
As long as we believe in good in each man
As long as we believe in love
The light will guide and take us to
The world we all dream of
Let your light shine
Shine
People, let your light shine
Maybe the answer is just this simple song
Let everybody shine along
To keep the world from going wrong
Let your light shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine
You are right Colin. Three words were missing in the lyrics:
As long as we believe in good in each man
As for the entry itself.. I think the dutchies could have done a whole lot better!
Me again.
Someone please help me! The lyrics above show the words for the break beginning
“As long as we believe in good
“As long as we believe in love”
Yet, when he sings the first line, the last word(s) has/have 3 syllables! What’s he singing?
Obliged if you can help. Many thanks.
Btw, I’ve now seen footage of their performance at ESC – what were they thinking?!
I’m from the UK, but I have friends in NL. I generally don’t watch TV, but was at a (birthday) party when the Eurovision final was on. When the voting took place, I had a look to see how NL were getting on – not there!
So, I did some hunting to find their entry. Now, will someone PLEASE tell me:
HOW ON EARTH DID A SONG THIS CAMP NOT MAKE IT TO THE EUROVISION FINAL, LET ALONE NOT WIN?
Stunned. And, by the way, am I alone in thinking this group is like a mature Steps?
Oh, and since this seems to be the official off-topic page :), it still says on the front page that “is yet to be conformed who will be the hosts” (or something like that). So, here: http://www.eurovision.tv/page/moscow2009/the-hosts
Hey! I’m back! 🙂 I was gonna check out the forum but the link doesn’t work?? :/
haha 😀 ok, I’ll check it out soon. 🙂
Thanks lol
If I were you I wouldn’t worry too much about getting too attached to the forum cause there’s not really too much action there haha
haha! 😀
I’m not sure if I dare to peek into your forum, because I already spend waaaaaay too much time here and it coul be fatal! 😀 Well, maybe some day.. 🙂
I already watched the funny voting moments (“Can I have your vote? – I don’t have it.” 😀 haha) and I will watch the others, too, I promise! 🙂
If you ask me.. I’d prefer if they decided not to perform at all! haha
btw, did you ever peek into our forum? 🙂
There are some discussions about best and worst Eurovision songs this year etc…
Aw and.. I feel everybody missed my “supposed-to-be-funny-post” = here ;( lol
Thanks. I hope their appearance and act on the stage will be more like it is on the official video, rather than the video of the live performance. 🙂
Argh I hate it when they do that! Upload a video and later remove it or set it private! pfff
Thanks maimis! I changed it
Admin, that second video doesn’t work. It says that it is a private video.
the song is..well not bad, but nothing special either. Maybe not the type of song I usually like. And this is not really the first time you hear someone says things like “there is too many wars in this world” lol..well it’s true, just saying it’s not the first time you hear that :p
I don’t think this song is good enough to get you into the final, I’m sorry, you’re song last year was better but not even that was enough so..
and..not to be stupid, but what are they wearing? 😛 I don’t really care about dresses that much, but still..hehe

The Netherlands – The Toppers – “Shine” – Eurovision Song Contest 2009
Well, the good news is that this is a catchy song with good lyrics. The bad news is that their choreography and clothes are absolutely ridiculous, and I think this will affect the voting results (and unfortunately not in a good way). I’m sorry, guys. 🙂 Constructive criticism said with love. 🙂
