Shine On Lyrics by Badlands

Voodoo Highway

1991

[Intro]
Yeah, alright

[Verse 1]
Born by a river, if you look into my eyes the river's end
People sometimes think I'm crazy but I know this world's gone mad
Tell me why I can't explain
Way down inside I'm filled with pain

[Chorus 1]
Shine on, only you can set me free
Shine on, close my eyes, you're all I see
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Won't you turn your light on me

[Verse 2]
Oh my Lord, I've been a sinner, in my time I've seen my ways
And if I beg down on my knees, would you hear these words I say?
'Cause in the dark I need your vision
Don't let this poor soul fade away

[Chorus 1]
Shine on, only you can set me free
Shine on, close my eyes, you're all I see
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Won't you turn your light on me

[Bridge]
Foolish anger is the flame
That burns inside, it calls your name
'Cause by a river, my soul is bleeding
Hold me now

[Chorus 2]
Shine on, only you can set me free
Shine on, close my eyes you're all I see
Shine on, shine on, shine on, only you
Shine on, only you can set me free
Shine on, I close my eyes, you're all I see
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Won't you turn your light on me
