Lyrics

Sparkler
8/2004
Written By Jason Moon

I know your sleeping, and I know you’re tired, and I don’t want to make you cry.
But tonight my son, may be the last night, you ever see me alive.
Tomorrow your father is marching off to war.
The last words that I leave for you.
Shine on my little sparkler,
Shine on through and through.

Some people try to bring your spirits down, some try to lift you up.
Some people carry their burdens on their shoulders, and some people just give up.
Not everyone can be strong all of the time,
This I know to be true.
Shine on my little sparkler,
Shine on through and through.

Some people talk about things they don't know, they tell you that their lies are true.
Other people listen to whatever they are told, blind their whole lives to the truth.
Not everyone can stay true to the light,
But everybody pays their dues.
Shine on my little sparkler,
Shine on through and through.

(Solo)

Some people shine early in the morning, but flicker when the day is through.
Some people shine all night long, but fade when the day is new.
Not everyone can shine all of the time.
It’s something not everyone can do.
So shine on my little sparkler,
Shine on through and through.

Watching you sleep with a tear in my eye, I kneel down and say a little prayer.
That I make it through and am reunited with you, someday, somehow, somewhere.
Not every story ends with happy ever after.
So promise if I don’t pull through.
You will shine on my little sparkler,
Shine on through and through.

You just shine on my little sparkler,
Shine on through and through.
