Lyrics
Love Shines On
Music and Lyrics by Johnny Schaefer
Once I was naieve, determined and bold
There was no doubt we'd all live to be old
But now so much around me has changed
And I search for the meaning in the rage
God give us strength to see this through
Sometimes the world seems stronger than you
But then you give us power to rise
as we stand before the challenge of our lives
and though though some people debate us
break our hearts and even hate us
nothing will ever separate us from our love
Chorus
'Cause Love Shines On through the darkness
and Love Shines On through the fear
and Love will take us shining through the years
Sometimes we don't know where well find strength
We feel overwhelmed by sorrow and pain
Until we find, with help from above
That we hold within our hearts the power of love
If we could all join together now
sharing our hope and taking this vow
that nothing will ever tear us apart
we could unleash the love within our hearts
Chorus
Bridge
We come from every walk of life
Surpassing our fear Uniting in strife
as we hear a new drum and fife leading us on...
Counter Chorus
Brother they don't know us
and sister, were strong
together we sing the chorus of a new song
that, one day, they'll all join us
when they finally see
the love that we share is all that has to be
Chorus twice
