Story Behind The Song
I wanted there to be something postive to sing about and I like the idea that we all do shine from within.
Song Description
It's my opinion that people are inherently good. This song is a cry to appeal to the inherent good in people, urging them to just do the right thing in life and with others.

Lyrics
Shine On
Andrew Bayuk
Shine on my friends, shine on.
There?s still time before the sun resumes at dawn
Stop what you are doing, take a look around
Forget about your problems and shine on.
You can stop all the fighting and shine on.
There's still time before you've killed them all.
You can stop senseless warring, let your love your pour out,
Forget about blind orders and shine on.
You can help your hungry neighbor and shine on.
There?s still time before they all fall down.
You can stop being greedy and think of someone else.
Forget about your money and shine on.
You can stop all the missiles and shine on.
There's still time before we're blown to kingdom come.
You can stop all this madness; I know that you don't want to die.
Forget about your sadness and shine on.
Shine on my friends, shine on.
There?s still time before the sun resumes at dawn
Stop blaming all your problems on the world out there.
Look inside your own self and shine on.
Forget about your problems and shine on.
Forget about your money and shine on.
Forget about your sadness and shine on.
Forget about this madness and shine on.
