Lyrics
Shine On
Oh the light
In the window
The only light through the storm
Comfort
In the knowing
There's someone there to help me through to dawn
So shine on
Leave a bright light behind
Shine on shine on
From the sorrow
You bring laughter
To the troubled you bring hope
Compassion
That brings remission
You're a drowning mans cry for a boat
Chr 2
Shine on
Leave a bright light behind
Shine on
For the ones who come behind
Shine on shine on
I'll be leaving
In the morning
My destiny to serve
They say you're born with the face God gives you
And you die with the one you deserve
