Shine Your Light — текст песни (Charlie Landsborough)

CHORUS:
Shine your light against the dark
Stand upright and make your mark
Do your best wherever you may be
And shine your light for me
-------
Long ago when I was just
A boy of tender years
My father told me life`s a road
Paved with joy and tears
And as you travel you must choose
Between what`s right and wrong
Remember sin is giving in
For Heaven`s sake be strong
-------
REPEAT CHORUS:
-------
As I grew beyond my teens
The world began to press
My father`s words began to fade
Lost to selfishness
And after years of walking down
The wrong side of the track
One night I cried and deep inside
My father`s words came back
-------
REPEAT CHORUS:
-------
My father said that kindness is
The light of God in man
So I was told to shine like gold
On everyone I can
I changed my ways and did my best
To right the wrong I`d done
I settled down and in a year
God blessed us with a son
Now he`s barely nine years old
A learner on life`s way
He wonders why a day goes by
He doesn`t hear me say
-------
REPEAT CHORUS:
---------
Do your best wherever you may be
And shine your light
Shine your light
Do your best wherever you may be
And shine your light for me
