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