The evening sun went down
   I tried to rise and shine
   I didn’t feel so good
   I prayed for extra time
   And I could see a light
   Breaking through the night
   Shining down on me
  
   I had to make a stand
   To find myself again
   ‘Cos I was on my knees
   And I was near the end
   And then I saw a light
   Breaking through the night
   Shining down on me
   Let it shine on me
   Let it shine on me
   Let it shine on me
  
   Shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on
  
   I opened up my eyes
   To see the morning sun
   And now the road is clear
   And I am free to run
   Yeah, I can see the light
   It’s burning so bright
   Shining on down on me
   Shining on down on me
  
   And it was the light
   That took me through the night
   Shining down on me
   Shining down on me
  
   Let it shine on me
   Let it shine
