The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well, how many subplots you got runnin' around your mind?

The gordian knot must be cut through

Well, give me a red pen, I will simplify your story

Which part of yourself can you afford to lose?

If you show me your list, then I will show you mine

Let's kill off a character or two

All the light under the sun

And all the light above it too

Is gonna rise and shine

And all the light under the sun

And all the light above it too

It don't shine for you

Like the joy and the tear in your eye

Like the little star that could

Could you remember every mistake that you've made?

At least all the ones you should have made?

If you make it your wish, then I will make it mine

Try to make sense of who is who

All the light under the sun

And all the light above it too

Is gonna rise and shine

And all the light under the sun

And all the light above it too

Still gonna shine on this world

Past it too

It won't stop

It don't shine just for you

Birds don't sing

Trees don't lose

Leaves don't change

Fall just for you

Shine just for you

Shine just for you

Shine just for you

And how many subplots you got swimmin' through that mind?

Scream for sympathy or sing the blues

Run from the shadows or relax in the shade

Which road you gonna choose?

We've all got places to be, we've all got things to do

We've all got this moment it's ours to lose

And all the light under the sun

And all the light above it too

(Summer don't turn to fall)

And all the light under the sun

(It's not just for you)

And all the light above it too

(Summer don't turn to fall)

And all the light under the sun

(It's not just for you)

And all the light above it too

(Summer don't turn to fall)

And all the light under the sun

(It's not just for you)

And all the light above it too

Still gonna shine
