Mike Brown Memorial Service

Knocked me off of my feet

But I think it's time for me to start walking again,

Stop running away from things.

Next time you see me,

I will be singing a new song

I am learning to shine on.

Shine on,

shine on,

There'll be time enough for darkness when everything's gone.

Shine on,

shine on,

There is work to be done in the dark before dawn.

It's been hard not to give in,

And it ain't easy living in hard times.

I know it's weighing on your mind.

Next time you see me,

I'll be uplifting,

yes I will give you hope!

I am learning as I go to shine on.

Shine on,

shine on.

There'll be time enough for darkness before everything's gone.

Shine on,

shine on,

There is work to be done in the dark before dawn.

I know how dark it seems,

Feel it coming up inside of me,

And I feel it in you too,

in everything you do.

Next time you see me,

We'll both be laughing,

oh just to be alive!

We are learning to shine, shine on.

Shine on,

shine on.

There'll be time enough for darkness when everything's gone

Shine on,

shine on.

There is work to be done in the dark before dawn.

There is work to be done, So you you've got to shine on.
