shine on me lyrics
Shine on me By Casey Donahue
The sands of time they flow so slow
I catch hell from everyone I know
and I'm so tired of being alone
so I get drunk and I just stay home
Looking in the mirror I get lost
I think about life's' choices and the cost
I wish I could stop and catch my air
and whoever said that life is fair
(Chorus)
Now it's been a long 25 years
Living life with all these fears
I'm holding on for a better day
Pray the sun will come and stay
Shine on me, shine on me
Life so hard, I'm so confused
Broken down, my soul's been used
and I know there won't be an excuse
but sometimes you got to cut the pain loose
Chorus
I know you won't understand
All I can do is all I can
I'm so weak when I need to be strong
and it won't be long until you find me gone
Now it's been a long 25 years
Living life with all these fears
I'm holding on for a better day
Pray the sun will come and stay
Shine on me, shine on me
Just shine on me (shine on me) 4x

mUSIC THERAPY PAGE... WHAT IS YOUR SONG?
I never appreciated the magic of musci until I had so much pain i found that music began to take it away. It wsa a hard time and the pain lasted for a full 30 days without relief. I listened to one song on my ipod on full power 679 times that month. took the pain away for 5 minutes at a time, and that was a blessing.
Since that time music speaks to me and heals me everyday. This song "shine on me" could have been written by me or for me. How did some 27 year old write a song that would describe the life of a 47 year old housewife with two teenage sons? How did he find the words that rang in my head every day?
The universe is a mysterous place where just when you need it the most something comes along to help you. Have faith in the unexplained things. Those moments are the ones that save you.
I listened to one song 679 times in the month of August when I hurt more than I thought I could handle.
Put your headphones on when it hurts too much. Find a song you can sing to that doesn't make you cry, crank it up, and free yourself of pain for five minutes at a time. It works.
It has to be loud, it can't be sad, and it gives relief.
