Queen Returns: It’s Time to Shine

Queen has returned with a new album — The Cosmos Rocks — with Paul Rodgers, formerly the lead singer of Bad Company, replacing the late Freddy Mercury. The album is uneven but has some great songs — and the always-brilliant guitar work of Brian May.

With the sun in your eyes and the wind in your face
To heaven you rise in a holy embrace
Your feet on the ground your head in the clouds
And you’re wondering if you’re never coming down

In an instant the mysteries of life will unfold
The myths and the dragons of time will explode
Here’s to a real understanding of truth
For compassion and grace to be given their chance too

Raise up your mind
It’s time to shine

A moment down through millennium
Unveiling the secrets of song to be sung
Waters of life flowing soft to the touch
Wisdom remembered have we forgotten oh so much

Raise up your mind
It’s time to shine
Raise up your mind
Hey, it’s time to shine

Let’s awaken from barbarity
Into a world of serenity
Beyond the rage of foolish pride
And on to the golden shores of paradise

Raise up your mind
Hey, it’s time to shine
Raise up your mind
Hey, it’s time to shine
Raise up your mind
Your time to shine
It’s time to shine
It’s time to shine

 

(Dan 12:2-3) Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.

 

(Phil 2:14-16)  Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe 16 as you hold out the word of life–in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.
