Lyrics
Verse 1
You knocked me off of my feet but
I think it’s time for me to start walking again
Stop running 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
Verse 2
It’s been hard not to give in
And it ain’t easy living in hard times
I know it’s weighing on your mind
Next time you see me
I’ll be uplifting
Yes, I will give you hope!
I am learning as I go
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
Verse 3
I know how dark it seems I feel it
Coming up Inside of me
And I feel it in you, too
In everything you do
Next time you see me
We’ll all be laughing
O just to be alive!
We are learning to shine
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
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
There is work to be done so we get to shine on
