Justice to the left of you
Justice to the right
Speak when you are spoken to
But don't pretend you're right
This life's not for living
It's for fighting and for wars
No matter what the truth is
Hold on to what is yours
Jigsaw puzzle traitors
Sent to spill the beans
Constitution screw up
Shattering the dreams
Blood flows in the desert
Dark citadels burning too
Watch, look over your shoulder
This one is strictly for you
Hold on, hold on
Wait, maybe the answer's looking for you
Hold on, hold on
Wait, take your time think it through
Yes, I can make it through
Hold on, hold on
Sunshine, shine on through
Hold on, hold on
Sunshine, shine on you, see it through
Talk the simple smile
Such platonic eye, how they drown in incomplete capacity
Strangest of them all
When the feeling calls, how we drown in stylistic audacity
Charge the common ground
Round and round and round we living in gravity
Shake, we shake so hard
How we laugh so loud
When we reach we believe in eternity
I believe in eternity
Hold on, hold on
Sunshine, shine on, see it through
Hold on, hold on
Sunshine, shine on you
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Sunshine, shine on, shine on you
Sunshine, shine on through
Sunshine, shine on, shine on through
Sunshine, shine on you
Sunshine, shine on, shine on you
Sunshine, shine on through
Sunshine, shine on, shine on through
Sunshine, shine on you
Justice to the right
Speak when you are spoken to
But don't pretend you're right
It's for fighting and for wars
No matter what the truth is
Hold on to what is yours
Sent to spill the beans
Constitution screw up
Shattering the dreams
Dark citadels burning too
Watch, look over your shoulder
This one is strictly for you
Wait, maybe the answer's looking for you
Hold on, hold on
Wait, take your time think it through
Yes, I can make it through
Sunshine, shine on through
Hold on, hold on

Sunshine, shine on, see it through
Hold on, hold on
Sunshine, shine on you
Hold on, hold on
Sunshine, shine on through
Sunshine, shine on, shine on through
Sunshine, shine on you
Sunshine, shine on through
Sunshine, shine on, shine on through
Sunshine, shine on you
This is one of my favorite (possibly the most favorite) Yes songs. It is simply awesome!
This has always been my favorite song by YES. Although I never paid attention to the lyrics for years, I can now understand why I liked it so much. It is an anti political song. Politics equals corruption. WE can do without it.
...and the guitar solo towards the end kicks ass!
I thought this article would shed some light on the meaning of the song:
...and the guitar solo towards the end kicks ass!
