Shine Your Light - Robbie Robertson

The cry of the city like a siren’s song

Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long

Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky

Must be someone’s soul passing by These are the streets

Where we used to run where your papa’s from

These are the days

Where you become what you become

These are the streets

Where the story’s told

The truth unfolds

Darkness settles in, oh Shine Your light down on me Lift me up so I can see

Shine Your light when You’re gone

Give me the strength to carry on, carry on Don’t wanna be a hero just an everyday man

Trying to do the job the very best he can

But now it’s like living on borrowed time

Out on the rim, over the line

Always tempting fate like a game of chance

Never wanna stick around to the very last dance

Sometimes I stumble and take a hard fall

Lose hold your grip off the wall

Shine Your light down on me Lift me up so I can see

Shine Your light when You’re gone

Give me the strength to carry on, carry on I thought I saw Him walking

By the side of the road

Maybe trying to find His way home

He’s here but not here

He’s gone but not gone

Just hope He knows if I get lost, oh Shine Your light down on me Lift me up so I can see

Shine Your light when You’re gone

Give me the strength to carry on, carry on Shine Your light down on me Lift me up so I can see

Shine Your light when You’re gone

Give me the strength to carry on, carry on
