You were born in a small town Always had dreams bigger than your brother, you know Hit the road where it forks down Make a decision, start from the gutter Big city lights, fast lane livin' But you never forgot your roots, oh-oh-oh Back in time, daddy's advice Baby don't forget that you... Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Everywhere you go Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light With everyone you know Shine a light Shine a light You have struggled before, now And each time you made it out the other side Pick yourself up when you fall down Stand tall and never be afraid to cry Big city life, same thing different time Darlin' don't forget your roots, well Back in time, mama's advice Baby don't forget that you... Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Everywhere you go Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light With everyone you know Shine a light, yeah Shine a light People laugh and people cry People live and people die But I'll never meet another life like you 'Cause every day and every night Teachin' you wrong from right Now you get to shine a light don't you Don't you Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Everywhere you go Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Let everybody know Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Everywhere you go Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light With everyone you know Shine a light Shine a light (Hey) You were born in a small town

Late at night alone I was hoping you would show Just waiting for you Try to catch a laugh Out here on my own There ain't nowhere else to go I've checked in all the places you could hide Late at night alone I was hoping you would come from behind Cause I don't want to stay Out here on my own I was hoping you would show up behind We're headed the same way It's all I want It's all from dreaming To keep you here forever If I ever ride alone I would never let go Or everyone could see how hard I tried I've never been so bold But these feelings gotta go I've never could a dream pass me by The truth has now unfold Shine a light And lead me back away The story's now told The curtains unfold Make it by and make sure that it stays

Walking down the highway, traffics comin' my way All I see are flashing lights People wearing blue suits wanna know the real truth How many did I have tonight? Looking at the wreckage Anyone would guess that all inside had died But, I'm alive No, I didn't pray to God No, I never saw the light No, I didn't watch my life go flashing right before my eyes No, I didn't do the things that they all said that I would do I just close my eyes and all I saw was you No, I didn't pray to God No, I never saw the light No, I didn't watch my life go flashing right before my eyes No, I didn't do the things that they all said that I would do I just close my eyes and all I saw was you No, I didn't do the things that they all said that I would do I just close my eyes and all I saw was you
