I wish this dream would end So another could begin Lord, pull me out the mire of regret Let me walk on the beach again When love turns to dust, leaves the splinters of your trust Forgiver Shine on, shine on In the beauty of the storm, I wither You could crack this stony sky With a single burning kiss You could bleed this starless night Like a desert oasis When love turns to dust, leaves the splinters of your trust Forgiver Shine on, shine on In the beauty of the storm, I wither If you're the only star, in countless constellations Won't you shine on the debris of my situation? Winter Shine on, shine on In the beauty of the storm, I wither I wither When the promise that you made Is broken or betrayed Like bigotry's poison stain Like the countryside that's raped When love turns to dust, leaves the splinters of your trust Forgiver Shine on, shine on In the beauty of the storm, I wither Shine on, shine on In the beauty of the storm Winter Shine on, shine on In the beauty of the storm, I wither
