Shine On

Knocked me off of my feet but
I think it’s time for me to start walkin’ again,
Stop runnin’ away from things.

Next time you see me,
I will be singing a new song,
I am learning to shine on.

Chorus
Shine on, Shine on,
There’ll be time enough for darkness when everything’s gone.
Shine on, Shine on,
There is work to be done in the dark before dawn.

It’s been hard not to give in,
and it ain’t easy livin’ in hard times.
I know it’s weighing on your mind.

Next time you see me,
I’ll be uplifting, oh yes I will give you hope!
I am learning, I am learning to shine on.

Chorus
Shine on, Shine on,
There’ll be time enough for darkness when everything’s gone.
Shine on, Shine on,
There is work to be done in the dark before dawn.

I know how dark it seems,
Feel it comin’ up inside of me,
and I feel it in you too.

Next time you see me,
We’ll both be laughing oh just to be alive!
We are learning, we are learning to shine on.

Chorus
Shine on, Shine on,
There’ll be time enough for darkness when everything’s gone.
Shine on, Shine on,
There is work to be done in the dark before dawn.
Oh, Shine on, Shine on,
There is work to be done in the dark before dawn.
There is work to be done so you’ve got to shine on.
