SHINE ON YOU
(Written by Eddie Mugavero-Sung by Cathryn Craig)
My beautiful friend, Tresa Phillips, was stricken with cancer. She was an amazing woman, with a great family, and a great spirit. She touched so many people in her short life, and I believed if we could all give back to her some of the light she shed upon us, she could beat this disease. Sad to say, she did not. She's in a better place now. I miss you Tresa. Fred Foster called this song my Grammy winner. I call it Tresa's gift.
SHINE ON YOU
SOME ARE CHOSEN TO BE GIVERS SOME CHOSEN TO RECEIVE
YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN THE STRONG ONE, HELPED OTHERS TO BELIEVE
BUT NOW SOMEHOW IT’S TURNED AROUND AND YOU NEED SOMEONE THERE
IT’S UP TO US ALL THOSE YOU’VE TOUCHED
TO GIVE BACK LOVE YOU’VE SHARED
MAY EACH SPIRIT THAT YOU’VE LIFTED FLY YOUR WAY
MAY EACH BROKEN HEART YOU’VE MENDED EASE YOUR PAIN
MAY EACH TEAR YOUR SMILE HAS DRIED HELP SEE YOU THROUGH
MAY THE LIGHT YOU SHINE ON ME, SHINE ON YOU
IT’S NOT OUR PLACE TO QUESTION WHY MISFORTUNE COMES TO THOSE
WHO’VE GIVEN SO MUCH OF THEMSELVES, SOME THINGS WE’LL NEVER KNOW
BUT I BELIEVE THE GOOD LORD HAS HIS REASONS AND IT’S TRUE
IF ANYONE DESERVES A BREAK IN THIS WHOLE WORLD, IT’S YOU
