When you were young
Where did you hide
When the ghosts under your bed made you cry?
Just yesterday
Where did you run
Did you lose you way before the day'd begun?
You were lonely for a while
Did you find your mother's smile
And did it shine on
Shine on
Where did you think
You'd be by now
Did it look like somewhere else someway, somehow?
When you drove away
Was there a sound
A simple melody that turned it all around?
And the moment you were gone
Did you hear your favorite song
And did it shine on
Shine on
Sometimes it hides
In the hardest times
A most beautiful blessing in disguise
Even on the darkest days
There's a spark to light the way
And let it shine on
Shine on
