[00:21.51]Shine a light on even if it's quietly
[00:23.57]Need you to take the lead
[00:24.65]So I can see the light thats guiding me
[00:26.61]Through my darkest times, I need that light to shine
[00:28.76]When I can't see a ray of hope, will you be my fire fly?
[00:31.75]Tip toein through the unknown, ain't really cuttin' it
[00:34.10]I'm sittin' on the wall, need a breakthrough like it's cuttin' edge
[00:36.99]I heard when all the grey clouds clear the sky happiness resides 'cos it's brighter on the other side
[00:42.05]I seen shadows of doubt tryna consume me
[00:44.52]I felt the heat and the pressure like a jacuzzi
[00:47.20]I stayed on top, rose above it like hot air, I found my shine again
[00:50.40]Noticed the shadows were not there!
[00:52.35]I saw the sun shine through, I saw the skies turn blue
[00:55.00]I grabbed ahold of my dreams, followed there every move
[00:57.51]They re-ignited da spark to shine a light
[00:59.56]So now I keep a candle by my bed to guide my dreams at night
[01:01.51]Shine a light for my people all around the world
[01:04.76]From the ghetto to Japan
[01:06.05]Let the stars see your hands
[01:08.00]Yeah…
[01:12.45]For my people all around the world
[01:15.19]From the hood to the islands
[01:16.95]Keep on rising
[01:19.30]Take it to the highest
[01:22.25](Shine a light)
[01:23.65]Shine a light on me, even if its moderately
[01:25.95]Let's keep it steady, keep it flowin like its supposed to be
[01:28.65]Highlight the way for the others to come thru
[01:30.70]Show them the way they can "try", "do it" & "don't do"
[01:33.55]All I needed was a light on me for a second, that opened up my eyes and got me circulating questions
[01:38.41]Is there more to me being here then just existin
[01:41.28]Or to spread my light and to get my people listenin
[01:43.88]Fact or fiction, my lifes had it's share of friction
[01:46.40]How I dealt with it, was to get it out my system
[01:48.95]To get wat was heavy on my heart, off my chest
[01:51.45]Ain't never done me wrong, aint found no better yet
[01:54.15]So I relay my light just like the olympic flame
[01:56.56]With hope that other people too will run wid it one day
[01:59.31]And spread the light themselves somethin like a morning rise
[02:01.65]And bare witness to the shine through sleepy eyes
[02:04.92]
[02:24.31]Shine a light for my people all around the world
[02:27.56]From the ghetto to Japan
[02:28.67]Let the stars see your hands

[02:42.11]Take it to the highest

[02:48.41]It's time to merge the spotlights and house lights entirely
[02:50.95]lets get together as 1, and shine as a collective
[02:53.72]Raise dem hands to da sky just get perspective
[02:56.31]Of whos with me, who aint, who on the wall
[02:58.87]Can't have no "I might be" man, it's either or
[03:01.31]So join all the pieces of the puzzle, get the picture
[03:04.14]You can take what was learnt and pass it like a scripture
[03:06.55]From N Z to Japan, we came to bridge gaps
[03:09.10]So shine a light on da Nesians over Goon Trax
[03:11.65]And you too can see what is seen amongst the stars
