lyrics

Hello? Are you feeling alone?
Is it something in your mind and out of your control?
A hole inside your heart? A question in your soul?
You can put away your books now, nobody knows

You’re trapped in a world you can’t understand, and you’re scared of its indifference
You’ve spent all your teenage years on just trying to cope with it
And every deathbed has its secrets
But it could never tell
You’ve just gotta go find out for yourself

Some people keep score, like you can win or lose
Some people say we got it made, but the next day they’ll say, “we’re all doomed”
Some people keep judging themselves
Trying to figure out if they’re going to Heaven or hell
Even though you and I and they know, you never can tell
It’s just out of our control

So just shine on
Shine on, you marvelous moonbeam
Blaze on, you glorious ray of sunshine
You can make it if you try

Some people climb mountains like there’s something at the top
Some people build castles just to sink into the swamp
Some people would trade it all
Just for that one special someone
Is there somebody out there?
Is there anybody? Anywhere?

Shine on
Shine on, you marvelous moonbeam
Fly on, you wondrous winged angel
Life doesn’t have to be so painful

Just shine on
