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
