Once upon a time there was a meeting of minds
The s un and the moon made a deal with the sky
One would take the morning and the other the night
Together they would blanket the world with ligh t
But the moon had a shadow, he felt like a liar
The s un was the only one who carried the fire
The s un saw this, she kept on glowing
B owing to the moon, never saying, "you owe me"
She said I'll s hine on you (shine on you)
I will s hine on you (shine on you)
I will s hine on you (shine on you)
I will shine on you
I keep lantern for you, glowing in my heart
To keep from t ripping over troublesome thoughts in the dark
We ain't that different, we huddle underneath the same stars
I see who you really are
You're every creature, every man, every woman and child
You're the clo sest thing I'll ever get to knowing God
Like the sun to the moon, I'll send my love and light
A love like ours, it'll fill the whole s ky
I will shine on you (shine on you)
I will shine on you (shine on you)
I will shine on you (shine on you)
I will s hine on you
I will shine on you (shine on you)
I will shine on you (shine on you)
I will shine on you (shine on you)
I will shine, shine, shine on y ou
T hink of the people that you love the mos t
S end them your light and hold them cl ose
They will s hine on you, I will s hine on you
N o matter the distance, the space, or the ti me
L ove travels in the speed of ligh t
I will s hine on you, I will sh ine on you
I will s hine on you, I will s hine on you
And i f you forget we are the chosen ones
Turn your eyes to the attention of the morning sun
Wherever you go, however you move
The light is gonna shine directly to you
Let it s hine on you (shine on you)
Let it s hine on you (shine on you)
Let it s hine on you (shine on you)
Yes I'm gonna shine on you
I will s hine on you (shine on you)
I will s hine on you (shine on you)
I will s hine on you (shine on you)
I will s hine, shine, shine on y ou
