Shine
[unknown] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What can we do
When a time slips into dark
What can we do
When no one is around
What can we do
When sound lose the spike
What can we do
If we can't get what we like
Just remember you are not alone
Keep on kicking,
Keep your shine on
Hurt and low but not alone
Keep on going,
Keep your shine on
We can shine, we can shine
We can shine, we can shine
What can we do
If they want us to lose
We can rise our hands
We can rise our hands
Just remember you are not alone
Keep on kicking, keep your shine on
Hurt and low but not alone
Keep on going,
Keep your shine on
We can shine, we can shine
We can shine, we can shine




We can shine, we can shine
We can shine, we can shine

My 3 year old son had been diagnosed with an aggressive brain stem tumor, medulloblastoma, in 1993. He and his two-year old sister LOVED this song, jumping on the bed and yelling out the chorus "Wooohhh" as I played it over and over in late 1993 and early 1994. He passed in February, 1994 but I'll never forget this song as it made him imminently happy in his last days!!
