"Shine Through" lyrics

Just like my father, I love my own guns
But unlike my father, I love my own son
And I hope that he grows up to be like his dad
I'll try my best to give the boy a life I never had

Hey there, dad, I want to face the world
Look here, kid, I think I can help you out
Hey there, dad, you've got to change the world
Don't know what the fuss is all about

Rain clouds or clear skies of bright blue
Through love we'll find peace and shine through
How many big bombs to endure
Till one world with one heart and no war?

Unlike my mother who taught me to love
I did pay attention but learned not enough
And one day I hope I learn from my mistakes
'Cause the boy that looks up to me needs a father to blame

Hey there, dad, I want to face the world
Look here, kid, I think I can help you out
Hey there, dad, you've got to change the world
Don't know what the fuss is all about

Rain clouds or clear skies of bright blue
Through love we'll find peace and shine through
How many big bombs to endure
Till one world with one heart and no war?

Hey, people, why don't you wake up?
Hey, now, you see that it's messed up
Hey, I don't wanna be lonely
Always in this lovely, is anyone out there?
Hey people, why don't you wake up?
By now, should see that it's messed up
Hey, I guess I'm fine being lonely
'Cause I know I'm not lonely, but I want you to love me

Rain clouds or clear skies of bright blue
Through love we'll find peace and shine through
How many big bombs to endure
Till one world with one heart and no war?
Till one world with one heart and no war
A big world, it's your heart I live for
