Shine on
Shine on, brighter than the sun,
live for every moment, before the moment's gone,
we shine on you and me tonight,
way across the universe, burning like a fire in the night...
I was looking at a photograph,
taken in a garden long before the war,
and out on the lawn,
there were old men and dogs and little children,
all of them gone forever;
There were people by the waterside,
standing in the same place where i am today,
nothing has changed - but you know,
that time is moving like a river,
it can only be love forever;
We shine on, brighter than the sun,
live for every moment, before the moment's gone,
we shine on, you and me tonight,
way across the universe,
burning like a fire in the night;
There are those who can never cross,
the space between a father and a son,
when they are young,
we must say all the words that should be spoken,
before they are lost forever;
And i was looking at a photograph,
taken from a window way above the world,
we've got to learn,
we must leave here a garden for our children,
when we are gone forever;
We shine on, brighter than the sun,
live for every moment, before the moment's gone,
we shine on, you and me tonight,
way across the universe,
burning like a fire in the night;
Shine on ...
Leave here a garden for the children,
leave here a new world,
leave here a garden for the children,
leave here a new world,
leave here a garden,
leave here a new world,
leave here a garden for the children,
leave here a new world...
