I could hear the church bells from the ocean.
I could hear angels sing to me.
And in the midst when I break down
I turn back to the one,
Who's shining on down to me.
So fly me around your home in a big balloon now.
Show me worlds where nothing's left to dream, no.
Take me to your place
Forgeting all about tomorrow
Shine it on down to me.
(chorus):
But brother, do you think you're gonna get me there?
Mama, will you tell me what I gotta wear?
Sister, will you make it all a big affair?
Would you climb a mountain, cross the valley?
Would you swim the seas in search of some relief?
Yes, I would spend up a lifetime on a mission for the one
Who's shining on down to me.
(chorus)
My keeper keeps my things in a candy jar now.
My keeper keeps it locked up with my dreams, yes.
Keeper keeps up all the things. Planning for tomorrow.
Shine it on down to me.
