Shine - commentary

Once upon a time there was a meeting of minds The sun and the moon made a deal with the sky One would take the morning and the other the night Together they would blanket the world with light But the moon had a shadow, he felt like a liar The sun was the only one who carried the fire The sun saw this, she kept on glowing Bound to the moon, never saying, "you owe me" She said I'll shine on you (shine on you) I will shine on you (shine on you) I will shine on you (shine on you) I will shine on you I keep a lamp over you, glowing in my heart To keep from tripping over troublesome thoughts in the dark We ain't that different, we huddle underneath the same stars I see who you really are You're every creature, every man, every woman and child You're the closest thing I'll ever get to knowing God Like the sun to the moon, I'll send my love and light A love like ours, it'll fill the whole sky I will shine on you (shine on you) I will shine on you (shine on you) I will shine on you (shine on you) I will shine on you I will shine on you (shine on you) I will shine on you (shine on you) I will shine on you (shine on you) I will shine, shine, shine on you Think of the people that you love the most Send them your light and hope it glows Say I will shine on you, I will shine on you No matter the distance, the space, or the time Love travels in the speed of light I will shine on you, I will shine on you I will shine on you, I will shine on you And if you forget we are the chosen ones Turn your eyes to the attention of the morning sun Wherever you go, however you move The light is gonna shine directly to you Let it shine on you (shine on you) Let it shine on you (shine on you) Let it shine on you (shine on you) Yes I'm gonna shine on you I will shine on you (shine on you) I will shine on you (shine on you) I will shine on you (shine on you) I will shine, shine, shine on you
