Farrah Veronica Sinha Poet Lyric

Shine Your Light On Me

ORIGINAL SONG:

Shine Your Light
Robbie Robertson 
Ladder 49 Soundtrack

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

Chorus:
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
 hold your grip off the wall

Chorus

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
Chorus

My Version:
SHINE YOUR LIGHT ON ME 

Ive been down this road before
Its cold and dark and weary
No stars above me, no ground below me
The world is empty and I can only hear my heartbeat.

Shine your light on me
Shine your light on me
When Im all alone
Be my strength, my home
Shine your light on me 
Help me God to see
That the world is bright
Be it day or night
Shine your light on me.

Sometimes Im hungry, my soul is thirsty
I long to hear the sound
Of sweet melody
People around me, they see right through me
Where has feeling gone
Where is humanity.

Shine your light on me
Shine your light on me
When Im all alone
Be my strength, my home
Shine your light on me 
Help me God to see
That the world is bright
Be it day or night
Shine your light on me.

Now I see children with smiling faces
Innocence not lost, they gladen us the most
Teach the chidren 
To be a mirror
For the blind to see, for the mute to talk
For the sick to heal, for the lame to walk

Shine your light on them
Shine your light on them
When they're all alone
Be their strength, their home
Shine your light on them
Help them God to see
That the world is bright
Be it day or night
Shine your light on them.
