lyrics

Shining Your Light

I feel like a beggar that’s been beaten and bruised.
I feel like a liar in my search for the truth.
I fell like old Lucifer in a confessional booth
with a deaf priest to hear all my sins.

I feel like the punchline of a terrible joke.
I feel like the last lines of a suicide note.
I feel like my lifeline has finally broke
and my arms are to heavy to swim.

Can’t stop the sun from fallin’
tumblin’ to the ground
Seems like the dark days dawnin’
But, that's when it turns around

Things keep on goin’ from bad to worse
and I’m counting my blessings, though they seem like a curse
If I feel like a lost soul, well whatever its worth,
you keep shining your light down on me.

In the blackest of nights You keep on shining,
You keep on shining your light.
I'll never let you from my sight.

Everything’s clear when the sun starts its climb
You’ve held my hand all this time.

You’ve given me shelter when the doors had all closed
You’ve given me guidance when the truth was exposed
You’ve given me penance for the sins you don’t know
But, someday, maybe they'll all be heard.

You’ve given me laughter and it can’t be suppressed
You’ve given me reasons when they’re all I had left
You’ve given me life when I’ve lost my last breath
and it's more than I think I deserve.

Chorus

I usually work with a group of disparate musicians who play well together most of the time.

Really, the only thing that keeps us together is the money.
