[Verse 1]
When the sky is filled up
With stones and heavy rain
And trouble starts sliding
Across the way

It's hard for me to see
Which road I've gotta take
I know I need to find a way
To leave it all behind

[Chorus]
Let it shine on
Let it shine on
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
Let it shine on
Yeah, let it shine on
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me

[Verse 2]
And when the light is filled up
With storms and heavy rain
And trouble comes sliding
Across my mind

It's hard for me to see
Which road I'm gonna take
I know I need to find a way
To leave it all behind

[Chorus]
Let it shine on
Let it shine on
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
Let it shine on
Yeah, let it shine on
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me

[Chorus]
Let it shine on
Let it shine on
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
Let it shine on (shine)
Let it shine on (shine)
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me

Let it shine on (shine)
Let it shine on (shine)
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
Let it shine on (shine)
Let it shine on (shine)
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me

Paul McCartney

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
