shine

Everybody loves the star
When he's on the top
But noone ever comes around
When he starts to drop

But you were someone special
You stuck through thick and thin
But I was much too busy
Trying to shine
To let your love shine in

Let you slip away
I must have been insane
Stop in the name of love
Don't make me live my life in vain

(Chorus)
Give me one more chance
That's all I ask of you
Just one more chance
I'll make it up to you
Just one more chance
That's all I ask of you
I'll build you a world for two
I'll make it up to you

Now since I'm all alone
I'm talking to myself
I know you're out there somewhere
Having fun with someone else

But a distant voice of hope
Echo from within, sayin'
(Don't give up)
(Your ship is comin' in)

Though my ship's alone
I'll play right to the end
I'm crying outside
heaven's door
Won't you let me back in


You'll never know
What I've been through
Let your love shine in again
This time I'll shine with you

Can't find no rhyme to it all
But still we keep on trying
The why and where of it all
Inside you the answer is lying

Reach in (reach in)
Find that tree of wisdom
Reach in (reach in)
Find out why you're livin'

Reach in (reach in)
Put away that shade (?) of sin
And let love shine in…
And let love shine in…
Shine, shine, shine, shine….

Don't take the easy way out
Believe there is a Maker
Don't be a body of doubt
In whom does live a faker

Reach in (reach in)
Find that tree of wisdom
Reach in (reach in)
Find out why you're livin'

Reach in (reach in)
Put away that shade of sin
And let love shine in…
And let love shine in…

A soul without love
Is a soul without meaning
And the Lord up above
He'll destroy every being

Reach in....

Reach in (reach in)
Find that tree of wisdom
Reach in (reach in)
Find out why you're livin'

(Etc., etc., - they vamp till the end)

Mother earth told the people
That the cold nights can be warm
Just get along with your brother
(It's the shelter from the storm)

If you're standing in the sunshine
But still out in the rain
Let your heart strike a match
('Cause love lights the flame)

Let it shine so bright
The eternal light
Let it burn forever and ever
Let love bring us together
Let it shine so bright
The eternal light
Let us join our hands together
Make a chain that bonds forever

Motionless people gather dust
Stand in the rain and you'll rust

Let's try to show compassion
It's the time for us to learn
There will be a better tomorrow
(Our reward is love in return)

Let it shine so bright
The eternal light
Let it burn forever and ever
Let love bring us together
Let it shine so bright
The eternal light
Let us join our hands together
Make a chain that bonds forever
