Shine On

I took an hundred and ten pictures of you
Put them all around me and wondered
What to do
Like a temple in memory
A shrine in your name
To days I don't remember
To nights I can't reclaim
I took a part of my life
About eighteen years long
Pulled it all to pieces and tried to make a song
With a groove you could dance to, a tune you could hum
I sung to my reflection, looking for the one
Man sees the boy in his eyes
Boy sees the man, singing:
[Chorus:]
Shine on
I thought you were gone
I thought you gave in
Deserted me long ago
Shine on
You're somebody's son
You're laughing again
You're letting the feeling grow
I took a hold of myself; it's not how I planned
Pulled myself together and acted like a man
I got a face I must keep up - responsible me
I keep it on my shoulders for everyone to see
But man sees the boy in his eyes
Boy sees the man, singing:
[Chorus]
Letting the feeling grow
Giving the years back to me
Letting the whole world know
That somebody in there loves me
Man sees the boy when he cries
Boy sees the man clinging on to him
Man sees the boy in his eyes
Boy sees the man, singing:
Shine on
