From the recording Shine
Trying to craft an upbeat song in trying times
Lyrics
I’ve been a pilgrim on a stretch of road
A dream catcher with a heavy load
A half-dead stranger with no next of kin
But I never knew a day that did not begin with
The mighty sun waking up the world
With just one thing in mind
And that’s, shine . . .
I’ve seen enough of the good and bad
I’ve been lucky and I’ve been had
But on this I can depend
There will not be a day that does not end with
The mighty moon rising with the stars
With just one thing in mind
And that’s, shine . . .
Shine above in darkness and in light
Shine the way from wrong- make it right
The arc of justice is one long long climb
It bends toward truth – just give it time
Be a blessing for the weak and worn
Show some mercy for those who mourn
We’re mighty souls in a mighty world
We’re living valentines
We’re made to shine . . .
