Everyone has a "hero" in their life...I wrote this song for mine...God rest his soul.

lyrics

SHINING LIGHT

I’ve seen it all before; I don’t want to see it no more
This senseless carnage, when will it cease
They thought you weren’t strong
But I knew they were wrong
You persevered, now you’re at peace
This world couldn’t give you your heart’s desire
Purified you, like a burning fire
You surrendered to a quiet love
And set your heart on things above

CHORUS

Your memory will live on
Shining like the sun
Warming countless others
A beacon guiding light
Burning in the night
For your sisters and your brothers
A call to all the lovers - of life

There isn’t any way; we’ll ever see a better day
When an eye for an eye, keeps everyone blind
Your message was clear, to those who had ears to hear
We’ll never find peace, until we are kind
I ponder your words; all the things you’ve done
You never fought back, yet you always won
You surrendered to a quiet love
And set your heart on things above
