Mother, Father, cover me.
Say my prayers for me.
Brother, Sister, walk with me.
Hand in hand we sing.

But, what about the water in the waterfall?
And what about the trees, will they stand tall?
And if the sky is falling, what will become of me?

So shine the light, shine the light.
Let the children sleep.
Shine the light, shine the light.
The world is theirs to keep.

Lover, stranger, can't you see
The dreams they hold so faithfully?
Watching, waiting, all they need
Is someone, someone to show the way.

So, what about the eagle flying through the night?
And what about the land in the morning light?
And if the sky is falling, what will become of them?

So shine the light, shine the light.
Let the children sleep.
Shine the light, shine the light.
The world is theirs to keep.

Shine the light.
