Lyrics

Shine
By Michael Lewis ©1999

Standing there, waiting at the bus stop City park, not far from here l'm downtown, there's no one around But the sound around make's it hard to hear

Somehow laughter's still going on. No matter how hard things get, don't let it put an end to your song...

Cause the Sun Still Shines
Despite any clouds above
And your heart will shine
If you keep on walking in love
Keep walkin' in love

Rusty Pipes waiting for the sandman
Sweaty arms and a fresh coat of paint
Across the street there's a cross on the church top where a Rusty man can become a saint.

Inside, prayers are still going on. Two thousand years, after all we've been through Nothing's put an end to the song ( chorus)

(Bridge) Just As long as your heart is beating There's a place for you to shine
Just as long as the sun is shining There's a love for you to find
