SHINE ON, SILVER MOON

Home 9 Composers 9 SUSAN ELLENTON 9 SHINE ON, SILVER MOON

featuring the Cypress Studio Singers
This song is heart-breakingly beautiful. Nickel was so moved when he heard it for the first time and asked Susan Ellenton for permission to to give it an a cappella setting. “When my freedom and my destiny look each other in the face – feels like life lived in grace.”

LYRICS

Shine on, shine on silver moon
Love is gone, love will be back soon
for the the new moon and the old moon
are the same moon, after all
and the heart is always full

Freedom,
freedom in my soul.
Destiny out of my control
When my freedom and my destiny
look each other in the face
feels like life lived in grace.

Children,
laughing in the sun
Old men
old women come undone
When the new ones and the old ones
look each other in the eyes
feels like love never dies
