Shine On
I was looking at a photographTaken in a garden long before the warAnd out on the lawnThere were old men and dogs and little childrenAll of them gone forever
There were people by the watersideStanding in the same place where I am todayNothing has changed - but you knowThat time is moving like a riverIt can only be love forever
We shine on, brighter than the sunLive for every moment, before the moment's goneWe shine on, you and me tonightWay across the universeBurning like a fire in the night
There are those who can never crossThe space between a father and a sonWhen they are youngWe must say all the words that should be spokenBefore they are lost forever
And I was looking at a photographTaken from a window way above the worldWe've got to learnWe must leave here a garden for our childrenWhen we are gone forever
We shine on, brighter than the sunLive for every moment, before the moment's goneWe shine on, you and me tonightWay across the universeBurning like a fire in the night
Leave here a gardenFor the childrenLeave here a new world
Burning like a fire in the night
