Shine was the Austrian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö performed by Natália Kelly.
It performed first in the first semifinal preceding Estonia. At the close of voting, it finished in 14th place with 27 points, thus missing out on a place in the final. It would have qualified in first place had it been down to jury votes alone.

When hurt is all you’re feeling, your heart is slowly bleeding
The only memories to hold on to
When you almost stop believing, you’re cold, alone and freezing
You think you’re lost and don’t know where to go
Look up to the starlit sky, reignite the fire
You will shine, shine and fight the shadows in the sky
You will shine, I see the light in your eyes
You will shine, shine and fight the shadows in the sky
Oh, you will fly up high, the light is in your eyes
Trust me, you will shine
Time is always healing and answers are revealing
Sometimes they’re simply right before your eyes
But when you’re down here kneeling there is no chance to see it
You can when all these dark clouds disappear
Look up to the starlit sky, reignite the fire
You will shine, shine and fight the shadows in the sky
You will shine, I see the light in your eyes
You will shine, shine and fight the shadows in the sky
Oh, you will fly up high, the light is in your eyes
Trust me, you will shine
Still alive and breathing
Still alive and breathing
Still alive and breathing, still alive and breathing
Still alive and breathing
You will shine, shine and fight the shadows in the sky
You will shine, I see the light in your eyes
You will shine, shine and fight the shadows in the sky
Oh, you will fly up high, the light is in your eyes
Oh, you will fly up high, the light is in your eyes
Trust me, you will shine
