though it seems thy shadow
is cast
doom and gloom tis not to be
shine on my friend
shine on
your light is yet to dim
though it seems so hard just being
sometimes you gotta
even when you don’t want to
shine on my friend
shine on
your light is yet to dim
the mountain seems harder
to climb
the more you try
the higher it gets
shine on my friend
shine on
your light is yet to dim
for naught my friend
it is not
for you to hang around a wee bit longer
yes
it is time
for you to rise up
from the stench
claim it not
for it’s not time
your fight tarry on
for life, hope, love, family, friends
your fight tarry on
we stand aside to let you be
but we cannot
in that stench leave thee
we carry thee
with prayer, hope, love, friendship
we carry thee with wishes
from the Universe
from the Earth
from our Gods
that dwell herin
we rise with you
to help you shine
shine on my friend
your light is yet dim
