Ladder 49 movie - Shine Your Light lyrics

rate me

Song by Robbie Robertson<br /><br>

The cry of the city like a siren's song<br>

Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long<br>

Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky<br>

Must be someone's soul passing by<br>

<br>

These are the streets<br>

Where we used to run where your Papa's from<br>

These are the days<br>

Where you become what you become<br>

These are the streets<br>

Where the story's told<br>

The truth unfolds<br>

Darkness settles in<br>

<br>

Shine your light down on me<br>

Lift me up so i can see<br>

Shine your light when you're gone<br>

Give me the strength<br>

To carry on, carry on<br>

<br>

Don't wanna be a hero<br>

Just an everyday man<br>

Trying to do the job the very best he can<br>

But now it's like living on borrowed time<br>

Out on the rim, over the line<br>

Always tempting fate like a game of chance<br>

Never wanna stick around to the very last dance<br>

Sometimes i stumble and take a hard fall<br>

Loose(?) hold your grip off the wall<br>

<br>

Shine your light down on me<br>

Lift me up so i can see<br>

Shine your light when you're gone<br>

Give me the strength to carry on<br>

Carry on<br>

<br>

I thought i saw him walking by the side of the road<br>

Maybe trying to find his way home<br>

<br>

He's here but not here<br>

He's gone but not gone<br>

Just hope he knows if I get lost<br>

<br>

Shine your light down on me<br>

Lift me up so i can see<br>

Shine your light when you're gone<br>

Give me the strength to carry on<br>

To carry on<br>

<br>
