[Verse 1]
F# A# B C#
Heard my brother tell a story about a world gone mad
F# A# B C#
People building their own cages rage at thoughts of liberation
F# A# B C#
About one girl and about one boy so lost in each other's joy
F# A# B C#
that he can only say right on and she can only shine on
[Chorus]
F# C# B
Shine on
[Verse 2]
F# A# B C#
Meanwhile all around the people tear each other down
F# A# B C#
But the two unable to not appreciate the coming of another day
F# A# B C#
Cuz with each rebirth a renewed gift of sun and earth
F# A# B C#
So right on my mother earth and shine on my sun
[Chorus]
F# C# B
My sun
[Verse 3]
F# A# B C#
And while the world tears itself apart with its certainty
F# A# B C#
The two just sit back in the wonder and the joy
F# A# B C#
Of the last artifact of beauty
F# A# B C#
We have yet to destroy
[Chorus]
F# C# B
And we give thanks
