Shine On, Sister

I look across a sea of faces
and I know that each must have a name.
I see a tear in every eye
and I long to ease the pain.

Traveling down this lonely road
trying to find our way home.
It's a comfort just to know
That none of us is alone.

When the darkness overcomes you
and the night's just too hard to bear,
just remember there's a heart that beats like yours.
That heart is mine, and my heart is there.

Shine on, sister.
This world may bring you only sorrow.
Some day, we all will know relief
smile beyond your tears of pain.
Some day our struggles and triumphs
will not have been in vain.
Shine on.
