Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ry one you meet
Why in the world are we here
D                                Bm  Bm7
 Surely not to live in pain and fear

 Why on earth are you there
            D                    Em7
When you're everywhere, come and get your share.

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
On and on and on on on and on

Well we all shine on                    |
Like the moon and the stars and the sun |   repeat until fade

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me...and causes
me to tremble for the safety of my country....Corporations have been enthroned
...an era of corruption in high places will follow...and the money power of
the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices
of the people...until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands...and the 
republic is destroyed." -- Abe Lincoln
