Half step down

Intro

People

 Light up your light to- night

 I wanna see you shine

Fight despair

 Don't let it get you down

 Don't let it tie you down

There's a man with a wife and three children

Who's been told he can work

There's a boy who's been told there's no future

He's been fed by the blind

And I can hear them crying

As they try to sleep through the night

I can hear them cry

- hear them cry

WE ARE THE LIGHT

WE ARE THE LIGHT

WE ARE THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES

Hold on

 To what you believe is right

 Don't let anyone turn your eyes

Look ahead

 Don't stop to look be- hind

 The past ain't no friend of mine

There's a failure who is standing on the corner

For he cannot see hope

There's a blind man who is standing at the crossroads

For he cannot see light

And as we fire the candles

We must make sure they burn through the night

For if they should die

There be no light

WE ARE THE LIGHT

WE ARE THE LIGHT

WE ARE THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES

WE ARE THE LIGHT

WE ARE THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES

SHINE YOUR LIGHT

SHINE YOUR LIGHT SHINE YOUR LIGHT SHINE

 WE ARE THE LIGHT

 SHINE ON, SHINE ON SHINE

 WE ARE THE LIGHT
