From the recording Shine Your Light
Lyrics
© 2016 Emerging Light Music (BMI)
The sun shines on everyone
It doesn’t hesitate
Doesn’t care about gay or straight
The ocean refuses no river
Love does not criticize
Ever patient, always wise
Knows when to shield its eyes
The ocean refuses no river
Chorus:
The ocean refuses no river
The rain falls on everyone
Doesn’t help to hold a grudge
It’s not up to me to judge
The ocean refuses no river
The sun does not keep score
You don’t have to do things right
You don’t have to earn its light
The ocean refuses no river
Love does not compare
Chooses hope, not despair
Rejoices in a child’s prayer
The ocean refuses no river
Chorus
Have you ever felt different, excluded or ignored?
May we all learn to keep an open door
The sun shines on everyone
Doesn’t care about thin or fat
Shines alike on dog and cat
Doesn’t care where you’re at
I would like to be like that
The ocean refuses no river
Chorus
And love excludes no one
