You were born in a small town
Always had dreams bigger than your brother, you know
Hit the road where it forks down
Make a decision, start [?], you know
Big city lights, fast lane livin'
But you never forgot your roots, oh
Back in time, daddy's advice
Baby, don't forget that you
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
Everywhere you go
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
With everyone you know, shine a light
Shine a light
You've struggled before, now
It's time you made it out the other side
Pick yourself up when you fall down
Stand tall, you'll never be afraid to cry
Big city life, same thing every time
Darling, don't forget your roots
Back in time, moma's advice
Baby, don't forget that you
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
Everywhere you go
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
With everyone you know, shine a light, yeah
Shine a light
People love and people cry
People live and people die
But I'll never meet another love like you
Everyday and every night
Teaching you wrong for right
Now you get to shine a light, don't you?
Don't you?
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
Everywhere you go
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
Let everybody know
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
Everywhere you go
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
With everyone you know, shine a light
Shine a light
You were born in a small town
