Chris de Burgh - Shine On (Lyrics & Cinematic Tribute) | Power of Ten

Experience the timeless message of Chris de Burgh's "Shine On" in this cinematic tribute. A powerful journey through memory, legacy, and the hope we leave for future generations. Released on the 1992 album Power of Ten, "Shine On" is one of Chris de Burgh's most poignant ballads. The song explores the passage of time—from looking at an old photograph to the complex relationship between fathers and sons. Ultimately, it delivers an inspiring call to action: to "leave here a garden for the children" and preserve our world for those who come after us. This visual interpretation features a classic 2005 edit by Steve Bennett, blending concert footage with sweeping scenic imagery of castles and sunsets that perfectly match the song's atmospheric production. Lyrics: "Shine on, brighter than the sun Live for every moment, before the moment's gone We shine on you and me tonight Way across the universe, burning like a fire in the night; I was looking at a photograph Taken in a garden long before the war And out on the lawn There were old men and dogs and little children All of them gone forever; There were people by the waterside Standing in the same place where I am today; Nothing has changed - but you know That time is moving like a river It can only be love forever; We shine on, brighter than the sun Live for every moment, before the moment's gone We shine on, you and me tonight Way across the universe Burning like a fire in the night; There are those who can never cross The space between a father and a son When they are young We must say all the words that should be spoken Before they are lost forever; And I was looking at a photograph Taken from a window way above the world We've got to learn We must leave here a garden for our children When we are gone forever; We shine on, brighter than the sun Live for every moment, before the moment's gone We shine on, you and me tonight Way across the universe Burning like a fire in the night; Leave here a garden Leave here a new world Shine on" 🔔 Subscribe for more Chris de Burgh tributes and lyric videos:    / @stevebennett100   👍 Like this video if this song brings back memories! #ChrisdeBurgh #ShineOn #PowerOfTen #LyricVideo #ClassicRock #90sMusic #FanTribute This video is a fan-made tribute.
