verse one:
Shine a light
Shine a light
When hate is at our doorsteps
We lead a peaceful fight
We shine a light
Shine a light
A gift from you and me
For all the world to see
chorus:
Candles in our windows
Help our hopes burn bright
Menorahs fill the sweet dreams
Of children tucked in tight
As Christmas bells are ringing
We see a wondrous sight
Candles in our windows
On this holy night
verse two:
Shine a light
Shine a light
When fear would keep us silent
We sing with all our might
We shine a light
Shine a light
The glow is here to stay
To chase the dark away
(repeat chorus)
bridge:
Our faith will last forever
The truth will never die
Our hearts will beat together
Forever, you and I
(repeat chorus)
Big Ending:
Shine your light (Shine your light)
Shine your light (Shine your light)
When you stick with who you are
Things tend to work out right
Will the world be perfect? (ooh, ooh)
Well, maybe not quite
But ya gotta keep shinin’
Shine your light (Shine your light)
Shine your light (Shine your light)
Shine your light (Shine your light)
Let the love beams keep on climbin’
To their highest height
Pick a slice of darkness (ooh, ooh)
And take a big bite
Yeah, ya gotta keep shinin’
Shine your light (Shine your light)…
