Lyrics
Shine On
Tim Bays/Jack Turner
© 1987 In Cahoots Music, Leverage Music (ASCAP)
For the one out on the corner with no place left to go
For the one out in the fields who's running out of hope
For all the lost and lonely so far away from home
Shine on, shine on
Chorus
Shine on (Shine on) like a beacon in the night
Keep on burning bright...shine on
For all of those who wonder if a light will ever come
Shine on, shine on
For the one who's down to nothing and feels like giving up
For the one who has most everything but a little bit of love
For the ones at your own table you just can't love enough
Shine on, shine on
For all the feet that stumble and can't make it on their own
For all the hearts that tremble in the darkness all alone
For all the eyes that ask us where we've been so long
Shine on, shine on...Chorus
