to shine on through(Arnold Melleby, 06.27.2021)

 it`s midnight

and I don`t have a slightest clue

where I`m at or where I`ve been

but, at least I know what time it is

it`s time to get outta here

wherever I may be


whenever I`m tired

I seem to feel awake

even if I`m pure as a glazier spring

I feel as dirty as a muddy old river

you wanna be like me

I don`t think so

get outta my way


moody 

if I`m in the mood

travelling

if I find myself on an airplane

and amorous as a honey bee

if I don`t get stung


as far as spelling 

the ultimate four letter word

mine`s more often spelled starting with an `h`

and ending with a double `l`


come on, now

give me a heavenly break

give me

what it takes

to shine on through

to you

and the world

I`m so lonely

can`t you tell

come on, now

give me a heavenly break

give me

what it takes

to shine on through


mornings after

I can still smell the smoke

and see the first flame

through the ember of it all


come on, now

give me a heavenly break

give me

what it takes

to shine on through

to you

and the world

I`m so lonely

can`t you tell

come on, now

give me a heavenly break

give me

what it takes

to shine on through
