Verse 1 So this is the season, the stars are awake, The silence is golden, the world starts to shake. A whisper of wonder, a promise of light, We’re holding each other through the endless night. Pre-Chorus Candles are burning, the shadows take flight, Every heart glowing, a beacon so bright. Chorus Shine, oh shine, let the fire be near, A brighter tomorrow, a world without fear. Sing, oh sing, let the echoes unite, Love is the reason we shine tonight. --- Verse 2 The children are dreaming, the bells start to ring, A chorus of voices, the hope that they bring. No borders, no distance, just hearts open wide, The gift of forever is here by our side. Pre-Chorus Snowflakes are falling, they cover the ground, Peace is a song we can all pass around. Chorus Shine, oh shine, let the fire be near, A brighter tomorrow, a world without fear. Sing, oh sing, let the echoes unite, Love is the reason we shine tonight. --- Bridge If we want it, peace will come, Every heartbeat, every drum. Raise your voices, let them soar, Love is stronger than the war. Instrumental / Choir Section (Choir repeats softly) “Shine tonight… shine tonight…” (Then builds) “Love is the reason… love is the reason…” --- Verse 3 (lifted) The old and the young, the near and the far, We’re all made of starlight, we know who we are. Together we’re stronger, together we rise, The dream of forever is here in our eyes. Final Chorus (grand) Shine, oh shine, let the fire be near, A brighter tomorrow, a world without fear. Sing, oh sing, let the echoes unite, Love is the reason we shine tonight. Outro War is over, if we want it… Peace is closer, if we call it… Love is the reason we shine tonight.
