    "Shine On" Lyrics:
    SHINE ON
    SHINE ON
    SHINE ON
    SPIRIT DANCE, THIS EXPERIENCE
    WAKING UP INTO A BREAKING WORLD
    SPIRIT CHANGING, LOST IN THE ATMOSPHERE
    INTO A WORLD OF LETTING GO
    TAKE ME TO THIS WORLD OF ENERGY
    WAKE ME UP BEFORE I FLY AWAY
    AWAY THIS CRAZINESS, OPEN THE SKYWAY
    OPEN THE SKYWAY
    SHINE ON
    TO YOU, EMOTION LOVE
    SHINE ON
    TO A WORLD I’M DREAMING OF
    SHINE ON
    TAKE A TICKET TO BELIEVE IN EVERYTHING
    TAKE A TICKET TO BELIEVE IN EVERYONE
    SHINE ON
    NEVER UNDERESTIMATE
    SHINE ON
    POWER OF THE UNIVERSE,
    UNIVERSAL LOVE
    SHINE ON
    POWER OF THE UNIVERSE, UNIVERSAL LOVE
    POWER OF THE UNIVERSE
    TO GET A TICKET, A ONE WAY GO AROUND
    DESTINATION: TO THE GREAT UNKNOWN
    JUST TAKE A LOOK, AND BE THE SPIRIT TIME
    YOU JUST GOTTA GIVE IT LOVE
    LOVE TIME (GIVE IT)
    LOVE TIME (GIVE IT)
    LOVE TIME (GIVE IT)
    LOVE TIME (GIVE IT)
    “BEAUTIFUL SURRENDER”
    SHINE ON
    TO THE TRUE EMOTION LOVE
    SHINE ON
    TO A WORLD WE’RE LETTING GO
    SHINE ON
    “YOU BE THE SATELLITE, I’LL BE THE SIGNAL OF
    CHANGE”
    SHINE ON
    NEVER UNDERESTIMATE
    SHINE ON
    POWER OF THE UNIVERSE, UNIVERSAL LOVE
    SHINE ON
    “YOU BE THE SATELLITE, I’LL WASH AWAY ALL THE
    PAIN,
    WASH AWAY THE PAIN”
    WE ARE THE DREAM, THE DREAM WE ARE
    DREAMING, SO LONG
    YOU ARE THE DREAM, THE DREAM YOU ARE
    SHINE, BE THE SUNLIGHT
    YES YOU ARE
    SHINE
    IN THIS WORLD, THERE’S A BETTER LOVE
    TO BEGIN THIS LIFE AGAIN
    IN THIS WORLD, FULL OF PROMISES

      @@dennismoore9011 If you are merely comparing the current version of Yes with Jon's new band, I would agree that Jon's unit is more energetic and more recognizable in the image of Yes. I believe Steve should have closed the shop after the passing of Chris Squire. Up until that time they were still damn good. But even though he was not an original, Steve Howe’s guitar work in YES in the 70's stands as some of the most brilliant guitar playing the world has ever known. Rolling Stone magazine wrote, "It was the addition of Steve Howe that allowed Yes to find its true identity," He co-wrote with Anderson a large part of what of what Jon and the Band Geeks are attempting to replicate. Steve's time may have come by now but he was essential in the success of Yes. That is really my point here - thanks.
