Burning like a fire in the night
When we are gone forever
We shine on, you and me tonight
We shine on, you and me tonight
Way across the universe
(Shine on)
There are those who can never cross
Way across the universe
Taken in a garden long before the war
That time is moving like a river
We shine on, brighter than the sun
Burning like a fire in the night
We must leave here a garden for our children
There were people by the waterside
And out on the lawn
Standing in the same place where I am today
Leave here a garden for the children
Leave here a garden
We shine on, brighter than the sun
Live for every moment, before the moment's gone
I was looking at a photograph
(Shine on)
(Shine on)
We shine on, you and me tonight
The space between a father and a son
Leave here a new world
Before they are lost forever
We must say all the words that should be spoken
Leave here a garden for the children
(Shine on)
(Shine on)
We've got to learn
Leave here a new world
It can only be love forever
When they are young
Leave here a new world
(Shine on)
Live for every moment
And I was looking at a photograph
Before the moment's gone
All of them gone forever
Leave here a garden for the children
Before the moment's gone
Leave here a new world
Nothing has changed but you know
Burning like a fire in the night
(Shine on)
There were old men and dogs, and little children
Taken from a window way above the world
Way across the universe
Leave here a garden for the children
