Light the fire
Hold it higher
There's a world that wants so much to see
And in the night
You're alive
Go on and be what you were meant to be

Go ahead and shine on
In the night
You gotta shine on
Be a light
You need to shine on
How the world could use some light

Go ahead and shine on
In the night
You gotta shine on
Be a light
You need to shine on
Let there be a little light

I know it's hard
When it's so dark
To think the world will ever notice you

But it's not dark
In your heart
Go on and see just what one light can do

Go ahead and shine on in the night
You've gotta shine on
Be a light
You need to shine on
How the world could use some light

Go ahead and shine on
In the night
You gotta shine on
Be a light
You gotta shine on
Let there be a little light

Go ahead and shine on
In the night
You gotta shine on
Be a light
You need to shine on
How the world could use some light

Go ahead and shine on
In the night
You gotta shine on
Be a light
You gotta shine on
Let there be a little light
