Shine a Light

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 u 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
Im sitting on the wall, need a breakthrough like its cutting edge
I heard when all the grey clouds clear the sky
Happiness resides,
cos its 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 the 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 its moderately
Lets keep it steady,
Keep It flowin like its supposed to be
Highlight the way for the others to Come through
Show them the way they can "try", "do it" & "dont 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 existing
Or to spread my light and to get my people listenin,
fact or fiction
My lifes had its share of friction
How i dealt with 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 with it one day,
and spread the light themselves something like a morning rise
And bare witness to da shine thru 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,
its time to merge the Spotlights and house lights entirely
lets get together as one, and shine as a collective
Raise dem hands to da sky just get perspective
of whos with me,
who ain't,
who on the wall
can't have no "i might be" man, its either or
So join all the pieces of the puzzle, get the picture
u 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 the Nesians over Goon Trax
and you too can see what Is seen amongst the 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.
