A little ballad about the human spirit.
|
I wrote this to try to offer a bit of encouragment to a weary sould who had returned home and was struggling with some of the pain and suffering he had witnessed, and his own contribution to it. I was attempting to re-assure him of his value, and worth despite it all by pointing out that it's not uncommon to struggle, to cry, and to fall; that other men have also suffered along the same journey.

Shine
Have you travelled very far?
Do you fear you've lost your way?
Is ther something in you compass,
that keeps leading you astray?
Have you seen a lot of things?
Things that make you wonder why?
Things that make you shout in anger?
...Things that make you want to cry?
...Things that make you want to cry.
...Things that make you want to cry.
The road can seem so long,
when you're walking all alone.
When you're hurting. When you're tired.
When you feel so far from home.
The faces seem unfriendly,
and the hills seem much too tall.
The burden much too heavy,
and you feel you're gonna fall...
You feel, you're gonna fall...
You feel, you're gonna fall...
No matter where you are.
No matter what you do.
The heart that beats inside you,
holds the love to see you through.
And when the night dark,
Feel the light that's shining through.
Just open up your eyes,
and see it shine on you.
Shine on you.
Shine on you.
Shine!
No matter where you are.
No matter what you do.
The heart that beats ihside you,
holds the love to see you through.
Though we might seem apart,
there's a tie from me to you.
Just listen to your heart,
and feel it shine from you.
Shine from you.
Shine from you.
No matter where you are...
