Short of breath, what world is left?
When did I sleep, can anyone say?
My jacket bleeds of transgressions
Formally known as my wraith
Long journey, a tired soul
I took the wrong path when my name was called
Please hear my message
Before you end up in this rabbit hole
Shine on now brother
Shine on my son
Let your soul be vivified
Before your time is done
My mama told me you got
Just one chance here
You've gotta shine on
Shine on for yourself
Reflection now, I bare my soul
My mother's words whisper in the cold
The light shows my actions
Dignify the tomb
Another chance, my son your breath
Is the most cherished weight to bare
Take a minute and count your blessings
You're at the top of the rabbit hole
Shine on now brother
Shine on my son
Let your soul be vivified
Before your time is done
My mama told me you got
Just one chance here
You've gotta shine on
Shine on for yourself
Shine on now brother
Shine on my son
Let your soul be vivified
Before your time is done
My mama told me you got
Just one chance here
You've gotta shine on
Shine on for yourself
