Shine a light..
Shine a light..
Shine a light on me
Shine a light..
Shine a light..
Shine a light on me
Rap:Shine a light on me
even if its quietly
need u to take the lead
so I can see the light
thats guiding me
thru my darkest times
I need that light to shine
when i cant see a ray of hope
will you be my fire fly?
Tip toein thru the unknown
aint 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 thru
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
Rap: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 thru
show dem 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 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 wat was heavy on my heart,
off my chest
aint 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 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…
For my people all around the world
From the hood
To the islands Keep on rising
Take it to the highest
Shine a light
Rap:Shine a light on me
in all of its entirity
its time to merge the spotlights
and house lights entirely
lets get together as 1,
and shine as a collective
raise dem hands to da sky
just get perspective
of whos wid me,
who aint, who on the wall
cant 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 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 you are
we give dat shine back
no matter who you are
Shine a light…
shine a light on me
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…
For my people all around the world
From the hood
To the islands Keep on rising
Take it to the highest
shine a light...
