  • So tired sleeping through the day
    Bloodshot eyes and sweat from my body
    And I picked my head up yesterday
    Found the reason of hope left inside of me

    But I still believe in immortal love
    And I know there's someone above

    Shine down, don't take it away from me, no
    And I know, you know how, yeah
    And shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
    It's taken forever to get me off the ground

    Haunted silence overwhelming me
    Deny takes its toll on my sanity
    And I know I've been away too long
    All these years I've been hiding
    I'm feeling I'm coming strong

    But I still believe in immortal love
    And I know there's someone that's up above
    Show me a path to find my way
    And give me a reason to pray

    Well, shine down, don't take it away from me, no
    And I know, you know how, yeah
    Shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
    It's taken forever to get me off the ground

    Shine down, don't take it away from me, no
    And I know you know how, yeah
    And shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
    It's taken forever to get me off the ground, yeah

    And shine down, don't take it away from me, no
    And I know you know how, yeah
    And shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
    It's taken forever to get me off the ground

    Shine down, shine down, oh, shine down
    Oh baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Shine down, oh, shine down, oh, shine down
    Oh baby shine down Writer/s: JAMES SHANNON LARKIN, ROB MERRILL, SALVATORE P. ERNA, TONY ROMBOLA

  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganThe second verse should start with "Dead silence overwhelming me. Day and night, takes a toll on my sanity." Also, the last chorus is only sang once, but you guys have it on here twice. I love this song, it's uplifting for me and the harmonica solo is sweet! It's in the key of C.
  • Zero from Nowhere, NjI feel I can relate to this song, I used to sleep all through the day and doubt my faith in a higher power. Now I've found a reason to live and "I'm feeling I'm coming strong".
  • Kayla from Oklahoma City, OkGodsmack has 53 songs - 11 on Awake, 12 on Faceless, 12 on Godsmack, 11 on IV, and 7 on The Other Side. This is a kickass song.
  • Jeff from Helena, Mtthis song is awesome. does anyone know how many songs godsmack has? exactly
  • Desiree from Powers Lake, Ndi LOVE the harmonica part...this song is the fricken bomb!! like all of godsmacks music...love it!!!
  • Nick from Paramus, NjI love this song, especially the harmonica parts. No, it's not the heaviest song, but who cares?
  • Culley from Greenwood, InThis song is the bomb! So what if Metallica hit big time first.
  • Sara from Savannah, GaSully wrote the song & he also produced it too!!
    he said that in a radio interview that i heard
    on my computer!! Its talking about faith & belief in this song. This almost reminds me of a
    religious song than it does a rock song.
