Context: We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road — the one less traveled by — offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.
“We all shine on… like the moon and the stars and the sun… we all shine on… come on and on and on…”
Variant: Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.

“Even as God is common to all, the sun shines upon all trees”
Quoted in The Adornment of the Spiritual Marriage (1916) by C. A. Wynschenk Dom, p. 6
“There are other tears, bright, clear, untroubled,
Shining as the sun, untouched of care.”
