Casey Donahew Band - Shine On Me Lyrics






The sands of time they flow so slow
I catch hell from everyone I know
And I’m so tired of being alone
So I get drunk and I just stay home

Looking in the mirror I get lost
I think about life’s’ choices and the cost
I wish I could stop and catch my air
And whoever said that life is fair

[Chorus]
Now it’s been a long 25 years
Living life with all these fears
I’m holding on for a better day
Pray the sun will come and stay
Shine on me, shine on me

Life so hard, I’m so confused
Broken down, my soul’s been used
And I know there won’t be an excuse
But sometimes you got to cut the pain loose

[Chorus]

I know you won’t understand
All I can do is all I can
I’m so weak when I need to be strong
And it won’t be long until you find me gone

Now it’s been a long 25 years
Living life with all these fears
I’m holding on for a better day
Pray the sun will come and stay
Shine on me, shine on me

Just shine on me (shine on me) [4x]

    I suffer from really bad depression. Tried to commit suricide twice. Me being 25 and what not makes me think so hard and I replay this song constantly on my way home from work scared that my depressions going to take over and it'll be me last ride. It sucks so bad. I try to keep my days positive. But behind a smile hurting and thoughts ponder. I've been in the hospital for it been on meds does nothing. Depressions no joke. Bcuz I am alone, I do drink when I get home it sucks. :/ Thank u Casey donahew for making a song that's makes me think of myself. Love the song!

    My Army son turned my on to CDB while he was stationed at Fort Hood. He heard 12 gauge and knowing what I had been through in a prior marriage, thought it would be a song to make me smile. Knowing I would have loved to have had a gun back in the day. Glad now, however, that I didn't. Ever since, I have followed this band. My only disappointment is that they never get to Ohio. CLEVELAND would be great! LOL But I would travel to see them! Casey does a remarkable job with his songs. He is simply amazing.

    K.... S....

    They do now

    Thank you Casey Donahew Band. Shine on Me is my son except he was 24 just this past Aug 2013. He was living this and changing for the best. And he did leave unexpected but well loved. SHINE ON ME was HIM. ESTEBAN listened to this song a lot and was on his laptop.

    +Eva Garcia  Prayers for you and your son.... Love this band....  Kids grow up (too) fast today and life moves too fast.... hopefully your memories and the things you have (and keep)  in your heart will pull you through the tough times and many many prayers.  I got your back. I will keep praying.   God Bless Steve  P.S. you WILL see him again !

    I only found out about this band recently through my nephew Esteban A. Garcia. He ironically was just short of his 25th birthday before he passed. The Casey Donahew Band was his most listened music according to his laptop music list. Sometimes you ask yourself. ..how could a song reflect every facet of one's life thoughts, feelings and struggles? I was very close to my nephew and it sounds as if he wrote the lyrics himself...every word. Casey Donahew Band Thank you for touching his life with your words and music! Very Sincerely greatful
