Shine On

(album: Stairway To Fairyland - 1999)

A child was born, forever young
Alone in a virgin's hands
A son for mankind's innocence
Raised in a holy land, alone

A star shined on a thousand nights
Diamond in the sky
Freedom for us all

High up in the sky
Guide our path through life
Save us from despair
Blazing rays of light
Feel so warm inside
Take us to this holy land
Until the day comes we return
To innocence, again

Pass through the gates of time
Be our guiding light
Saviour of our souls
Keep us all alive
Eyes are open wide
Stare into your crystal ball
The time has come for us
Return to innocence

Forever again, forever
Whenever again, whenever

Shine on, starlight
Saviour comes from somewhere
Ride on, guardian
Take us back where eagles dare

Fly into our fantasy
Take us to eternity
We'll never cry
We'll never die
Return to innocence

Forever again, forever
Whenever again, whenever

Shine on, starlight
Saviour comes from somewhere
Ride on, guardian
Take us back where eagles dare
Shine on, starlight
Saviour comes from everywhere
Ride on, guardian
Take us back where eagles dare, tonight

A child was born forever young, fly
Bring us back the wayward son, cry
Freedom for us all

Shine on, starlight
Savior comes from somewhere
Ride on, guardians
Take us back where eagles dare
