Lyrics:

I took an hundred and ten pictures of you Put them all around me and wondered what to do Like a temple in memory, a shrine in your name To days I don't remember, to nights I can't reclaim I took a part of my life, about eighteen years long Pulled it all to pieces and tried to make a song With a groove you could dance to, a tune you could hum I sung to my reflection, looking for the one Man sees the boy in his eyes Boy sees the man, singing: Shine on I thought you were gone I thought you gave in Deserted me long ago Shine on You're somebody's son You're laughing again You're letting the feeling grow I took a hold of myself. It's not how I planned Pulled myself together and acted like a man I got a face I must keep up, responsible me I keep it on my shoulders for everyone to see But man sees the boy in his eyes Boy sees the man, singing: Shine on I thought you were gone I thought you gave in Deserted me long ago Shine on You're somebody's son You're laughing again You're letting the feeling grow Letting the feeling grow, giving the years back to me Letting the whole world know that somebody in there loves me Man sees the boy when he cries Boy sees the man clinging on to him Man sees the boy in his eyes Boy sees the man, singing: Shine on
