Shine a light
Shine a light
Shine a light on me
Shine a light
Shine a light
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me, even if its quietly
Need you to take the lead so I
Can see the light that's guiding me
Through my darkest times
I need that light to shine
When I can't see a ray of hope,
will you be my fire fly?
Tip toein' through the unknown, ain't really cuttin' it
I'm sitting on the wall, need a breakthrough like it's cutting edge
I heard when all the grey clouds clear the sky
Happiness resides 'cause it's brighter on the other side
I seen shadows of doubt tryna consume me
I felt the heat and the pressure like a jacuzzi
I stayed on top, rose above it like hot air, I found my shine again
Noticed the shadows were not there!
I saw the sun shine through
I saw the skies turn blue
I grabbed ahold of my dreams, followed there every move
They re-ignited da spark to shine a light
So now I keep a candle by my bed to guide my dreams at night
Shine a light...
For my people all around the world
From the ghetto to Japan
Let the stars see your hands
Yeah, yeah, yeah
For my people all around the world
From the hood to the islands
Keep on rising
Take it to the highest
Shine a light
Shine a light on me, even if it's moderately
Let's keep it steady
keep it flowin' like its supposed to be
Highlight the way for the others to come through
Show dem the way they can "try", "do it" and "don't do"
All I needed was a light on me for a second
That opened up my eyes and got me circulating questions
Is there more to me being here then just existin'
Or to spread my light and to get my people listenin'
Fact or fiction my lifes had its share of friction
How I dealt wid it, was to get it out my system
To get what was heavy on my heart, off my chest
Ain't never done me wrong,
ain't found no better yet
So I relay my light just like the Olympic flame
With hope that other people too will run wid' it one day
And spread the light themselves somethin like a morning rise
And bare witness to da shine through sleepy eyes
Shine a light...
For my people all around the world
From the ghetto to Japan
Let the stars see your hands
Yeah, yeah, yeah
For my people all around the world
From the hood to the islands
Keep on rising
Take it to the highest
Shine a light
Shine a light on me in all of its entirity
It's time to merge the spotlights and house lights entirely
Let's get together as 1, and shine as a collective
Raise dem hands to da sky just get perspective
Of whose wid' me, who ain't, who on the wall
Can't have no "I might be" man, it's either or
So join all the pieces of the puzzle, get the picture
You can take what was learnt and pass it like a scripture
From N-Z to Japan we came to Bridge gaps
So shine a light on da Nesians over Goon Trax
And you too can see what is seen amongst da stars
We give dat shine back, no matter who ya are
Yeah. No matter who ya are...
We give dat shine back no matter who ya are
No matter who ya are...
We give dat shine back no matter who ya are
Shine a light
Shine a light
Shine a light on me
Shine a light
Shine a light
Shine a light on me
Shine a light
For my people all around the world
From the ghetto to Japan
Let the stars see your hands
Yeah, yeah, yeah
For my people all around the world
From the hood to the islands
Keep on rising
Take it to the highest
Shine a light
