Shine a Light
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You were born in a small town
Always had dreams bigger than your brother, you know it
Hit the road where it forks down
Make a decision, start from the gutter, you know it
Big city lights, fast lane living
But you never forgot your roots, oh
Back in town, 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
Each time you made it out the other side
Pick yourself up when you fall down
Stand tall and never be afraid to cry
Big city life, same thing, different town
Darling, don't forget your roots, well
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
Hey
You were born in a small town
