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 even if it's quietly Need you to take the lead So I can see the light thats 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 sittin' on the wall, need a breakthrough like it's cuttin' edge I heard when all the grey clouds clear the sky happiness resides 'cos 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… 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 its moderately Let's keep it steady, keep it flowin like its supposed to be Highlight the way for the others to come thru Show them the way they can "try", "do it" & "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 it's share of friction How I dealt with it, was to get it out my system To get wat was heavy on my heart, off my chest Ain't never done me wrong, aint 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 the shine through sleepy eyes
