Shine a light
Shine a light
Shine a light on me
Shine a light
Shine a light
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on even if it's quietly
Need you to take the lead
So I can see the light thats guiding me
Through my darkest times, I need that light to shine
Tip toein through the unknown, ain't really cuttin' it
I'm sittin' on the wall, need a breakthrough like it's cuttin' edge
I heard when all the grey clouds clear the sky happiness resides 'cos it's brighter on the other side
I seen shadows of doubt tryna consume me
I felt the heat and the pressure like a jacuzzi
Noticed the shadows were not there!
I saw the sun shine through, I saw the skies turn blue
I grabbed ahold of my dreams, followed there every move
So now I keep a candle by my bed to guide my dreams at night
From the ghetto to Japan
Let the stars see your hands
Yeah…
From the hood to the islands
Keep on rising
Take it to the highest
(Shine a light)
Shine a light on me, even if its moderately
Let's keep it steady, keep it flowin like its supposed to be
Highlight the way for the others to come thru
Show them the way they can "try", "do it" & "don't do"
Is there more to me being here then just existin
Fact or fiction, my lifes had it's share of friction
How I dealt with it, was to get it out my system
To get wat was heavy on my heart, off my chest
Ain't never done me wrong, aint found no better yet
So I relay my light just like the olympic flame
And bare witness to the shine through sleepy eyes
From the ghetto to Japan
Let the stars see your hands
Yeah…
From the hood to the islands
Keep on rising
Take it to the highest
Shine a light on me in all of its entirity
lets get together as 1, and shine as a collective
Of whos with me, who aint, who on the wall
Can't have no "I might be" man, it's either or
So join all the pieces of the puzzle, get the picture
You can take what was learnt and pass it like a scripture
From N Z to Japan, we came to bridge gaps
So shine a light on da Nesians over Goon Trax
And you too can see what is seen amongst the stars
We give that shine back, no matter who ya are
Yeah.. No matter who ya are..
We give that shine back no matter who ya are
No matter who ya are..
We give that shine back no matter who ya are
Shine a light
Shine a light
Shine a light on me
Shine a light
Shine a light
Shine a light on me
Shine a light…
From the ghetto to Japan
Let the stars see your hands
Yeah…
From the hood to the islands
Keep on rising
Take it to the highest
