Well we finally raised the bar,
I‘ve got this song of you in my head
And in this scrap I won’t be lying
You know that nothing’s been misread.

We’ve got a ladder to the stars
And now we’re out here on the rung
And in our private world we’re dangling
And this is the song to be sung:

Shine on, baby won’t you shine on, baby won’t you shine on
And ring the living bell oh baby today
Shine on, baby won’t you shine on, shine on
Denise Marie ah we been up since the dawn.

Well it’s a quiet place in the cool of the morning
Where the high beams they drop in
We’re on our way out but won’t you join us
I mean come around again.

We’ve got a ladder to the stars
And now we’re stuck on everyone
And in this joyous toast we’re styling
And this is the song to be sung:

Shine on, shine on, shine on
And ring the living bell oh baby today
Shine on, baby won’t you shine on, shine on
Red, white and blue how ‘bout you?

I only wanna make you laugh, yeah, I never want to see you cry
Energy just changes form it don’t die…

Anomolies and shifting fates
I waited everyday for you to arrive
We’ll run it up the maypole yes
And we’ll see how mother nature’s son has survived.

Your laughter stripped away the bars
And now you won’t be unsung
And now our private world is wrangling
And smiling out at everyone…
