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