Band: Woodbox Gang Album: Trashcan Americana Vampire Suicide VERSE 1 G Em My father is a watching under me G Em He's been watching for eternity G Em And I've done him proud but I'm moving on G Em Gonna take my chances in the morning sun Chorus G And let it shine and shine Em Shine on me G Let it shine and shine Em Shine on me G I'll let the light shine Em Shine on me G Em Let it shine and shine on me VERSE 2 I climbed my deepest sadness I sank down in my darkest fear I swam through the abyss and I am standing right here I took a wandering path around that straight and narrow trail And I carved my initials in a tree with three nails VERSE 3 Well I showed my scars to a woman on the street Yeah I swallowed my pride when there was nothing else to eat I'll shake the hand of a stranger when the morning comes to greet Oh I'll stand in the dawn and let it be my defeat
