Knocked me off of my feet
But I think it's time for me to start walking again
Stop running away from things
Next time you see me
I will be singing a new song
I am learning to shine on


Shine on, shine on
There'll be time enough for darkness when everything's gone
Shine on, shine on
There is work to be done in the dark before dawn


It's been hard not to give in
And it ain't easy living in hard times
I know it's weighing on your mind
Next time you see me
I'll be uplifting, yes I will give you hope!
I am learning as I go to shine on


Shine on, shine on
There'll be time enough for darkness before everything's gone
Shine on, shine on
There is work to be done in the dark before dawn


I know how dark it seems
Feel it coming up inside of me
And I feel it in you too, in everything you do
Next time you see me
We'll both be laughing, oh just to be alive!
We are learning to shine, shine on


Shine on, shine on
There'll be time enough for darkness when everything's gone
Shine on, shine on
There is work to be done in the dark before dawn


There is work to be done
So you you've got to shine on
