Turn on the lights of Heaven Lord
Shine on me
Turn on the lights of Heaven Lord
Shine on me shine on me

Let all the lights (let all the lights)
Be on the road the road
Helpin' me find my way home

Turn on the lights of Heaven Lord
Shine on me (shine on me)
Shine on me (shine on me)

The theme song to Amen is also one of my favorite theme songs and when I learned that Vanessa Bell Armstrong sang it I searched for a CD of hers that had the Amen theme song and I got it and Shine On Me is so fun to sing and I always sing along whenever Amen reruns air on TV

I already lived out here when Amen came on TV! My hubby and I were like "It's Philly"!

That's West Philly, right? I'm from The Northeast and North Philly!
