Intro

They wait to plead their case, unknown cast aside

I love to see their face, can we spare the lie?

Are we afraid to see them, prisoners of history

 These beautiful minds, trapped inside, bring them back to life

 Let 'em shine, let 'em shine on

 Let 'em shine, let 'em shine on

 Ooooooohhhhhhhhhh

Aowwwww

So dark when I see sparks, if we don't snuff 'em out

We've gotta let 'em flame, let 'em speak their name

Let 'em reach up to the clouds

Can't eat if we don't feed 'em, can't read if we don't teach 'em

There's no light if we just hide 'em

Don't just let 'em die

Let 'em shine (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on

Let 'em shine (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on

Oh let 'em shine on (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on

Let 'em shine on (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine, on

 Ohhhhh sparks flicker, in the distance

 Lonely out in space

 They sing out, but we're not listening

 Cause we don't see their face

 We can't let 'em die we can't, make 'em hide

All the little miracles that live inside

 Let 'em shine, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 Let 'em shine (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on

Let 'em live (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on

Let 'em be loved (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on

Let 'em growwww (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine, on

C'mon let 'em love (yeah yeah yeah) hey

C'mon let 'em love (yeah yeah yeah) hey hey hey yeah

C'mon let 'em love (yeah yeah yeah) YEAH-HA-HEAH

C'mon, YEAH-HA-HEAH-HA-HEAHH

Hold 'em close, let 'em know

That they'll get through the night

Ordinary people could, be a hero

 Don't put out the light!

 Let 'em shine, let 'em shine on [2X]

Yeah

Yeayyyyeahhh

 Let 'em shine on
