shine On
Sawyer Fredericks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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





Shine on, shine on
There is work to be done so you got to shine on
