about

In Western culture, whether you are a Christian or not, you can't help but be affected by the powerful story of a poor family who have to have their baby in a stable because all the rooms are full at the inn.

We've all been unconsciously affected by the story of the Virgin Birth, The Divine intervention, the Shepherds and the Wise Men.

I think it's a great story. Perhaps one of the greatest stories ever told.

And as a professional storyteller and Ericksonian Hypnotist, I know first hand the healing power of stories and the way the unconscious mind REQUIRES stories for transformation.

I personally prefer it to the glitz and pressure to buy, buy, buy that has come to dominate the Christmas season.

Ultimately it's about LOVE, not presents, not stuff, not office parties where everybody gets drunk. This song is for those of us who seek something deeper and more meaningful in life. Peace!
- Mark

lyrics

Shine
Song #437 | 12/4/2011 | CD Fire Before The Flame

Out in the darkness a child is born
Is he who we expected or something more?
His father is a dreamer his mother is poor
Tell me what you seek as you peek around the stable door…

Refrain:
Shine, Shine Shine

Out in the distance a star ignites
Even in the daytime you can see its light
Could this be a sign of the end of times?
Or just an invitation to change your mind?

Refrain:

Back in the beginning was the word
Breaking through the silence to be heard
Can you hear it now? Can you turn it up?
You know the Word is "Love." Come and fill your cup

Refrain:

about

Mark Shepard Albany, New York

Welcome to my “Life In Song” project.

Since 1976, I’ve been obsessively and compulsively writing songs. Some of them are inspired by my own life, my attempts to understand love, life, spirituality, peace and justice.

While I recently have started to get a little recognition, you’ve probably never heard my songs ANYWHERE.

But now you can hear them... here... Download. Share. Thanks!
