shining hours, shining hours
how are you gonna spend your shining hours?
shining hours, shining hours
how are you gonna spend your shining hours?
you were made to shine
you were made to shine
but you were only given so many hours
you were only given so many hours

shining hours, shining hours
how are you gonna spend your shining hours?
shining hours, shining hours
how are you gonna spend your shining hours?

may god help you shine
may god help you shine
may god help you shine
may god help you shine

shining hours, shining hours
how are you gonna spend your shining hours?
shining hours, shining hours
how are you gonna spend your shining hours?

it’s gonna be hard to practice what you preach
it’s gonna be hard to turn the other cheek

shining hours, shining hours
how are you gonna spend your shining hours?
shining hours, shining hours
how are you gonna spend your shining hours?

you were made to shine
you were made to shine
but you were only given so many hours
you were only given
you were only given so many hours

shining hours, shining hours
how are you gonna spend your shining hours?
shining hours, shining hours
how are you gonna spend your shining hours?

about

Troy Meadows New Jersey

Hi all,

I’ve been recording as “Troy Meadows” for something like fifteen years. My music has received airplay from radio stations like WMBR, WITR, WMFO, WNTE, KAOS, WTUL, KZSU, WUOG, XPN, WMPG, WTSR, and KALX.

I am a PROUD HOME RECORDER.

My latest release, A Faith Observed, is an album about wrestling with God. It's my clumsy masterpiece. As you will hear, every note is sincere.
