	Story Behind the Song A song about human determination to continue in the face of a dismal situation. Lyrics Shining On ©Copyright 2002 Robert A. Houston All Rights Reserved Looking down the wrong end of a long life Kicking round the memories in his head Days rise and fall but he’s not counting He’s just sitting on the corner of his bed He slowly runs his trembling hand across the nightstand Reaching for a picture he can’t see In that moment he can find some kind of peace now I guess loneliness is a matter of degree But theres something’s there that lingers in the silence Awash above the night and below the sun And It’s measured out in pain and loss and anguish But a candle in the dark keeps shining on They can close their eyes and taste the days that past them with a greif that washes in on every dawn In a world thats lost its consequence and meaning Before they turned around to see that she was gone Now time drives on the image of her memory But ten years old forever she will stay Their existance makes a poor excuse for living The humanity they owned has been betrayed But theres something’s there that lingers in the silence Awash above the night and below the sun and It’s measured out in pain and loss and anguish But a candle in the dark keeps shining on He said that he'd be home in time for dinner then he laughed out loud at something that she said Late at night she often thinks about it It was the final conversation that they had On that day of fate he perished with the others And there’s something there so terribly incomplete In the ravage and the flames of war that slay them Yet there stands a greater good they don’t defeat But theres something’s there that lingers in the silence Awash above the night and below the sun and It’s measured out in pain and loss and anguish But a candle in the dark keeps shining on But a candle in the dark keeps shining on Yeah a candle in the dark keeps shining on A candle in the dark keeps shining on
