Shine

Who doesn't wish to live beyond the time a life allows?
To never face the hourglass when all the sand runs out
You're not the first, my friend, to fear the end
All I can say is we don't have to fade away

Forget the vain attempts we see at immortality
By how much money we can make or notoriety
They do not last for long, they're here and gone
But love and only love can make a memory live on

Shine forever, never fade
Touch the lives you've given
Be a light that knows no night
Shine forever, you will not be gone
We can live forever in the love we pass along

My mother and my father's faith are with me every day
I hope to give that kindness to all along my way
Be more than flesh and bone beneath a stone
To be a gift that keeps on giving on and on

Shine forever, like a star
Touch the lives you've given
The kind of love that keeps on living
Shine forever, you will not be gone
We can live forever in the love we pass along

What we do when we open our hearts
Starts to flow like a ripple in the ocean
Who can say just how big the wave will grow?
Who you will bless with your caress?
But can we be immortal? Almost certainly, yes

Shine forever, never fade
Touch the lives you've given
Be a light that knows no night
Shine forever, you will not be gone
We can live forever in the love we pass along

Shine forever, like a star
Touch the lives you've given
The kind of love that keeps on living
Shine forever, you will not be gone
We can live forever in the love we pass along

Shine on
Shine on
