Shine

[Verse 1]
Travel with me through centuries of memories
Long before the epiphany of bigotry
Long before there were human beings, Eden’s seed
There was light
Never mind how it came to be, only see
Love ignited itself to create you and me
Not religion, not scientific, just belief
We are light

[Hook]
And we can shine
Shine through all the hatred
Climb above the wasteland
And we can shine
Reach across division
Love through all the difference
Yeah, we can

[Verse 2]
Separation of history from honesty
Stories told with inaccurate memory
Pages ripped from our legacy, blasphemy
We were light
The original tapestry, made from She
Greatest of all the land, even royalty
Yet we fight for our lives, seems perpetually
We’re still light

[Hook]
And we can shine
Shine through all the hatred
Climb above the wasteland
And we can shine
Reach across division
Love through all the difference
Yeah, we can
And we can shine
Shine through all the hatred
Climb above the wasteland
And we can shine
Reach across division
Love through all the difference
Yeah, we can

[Bridge]
Just a tiny little speck
On the universe’s neck
But the chosen few
Have some work to do
If we are to be the light
A new prism must unite
Grab a hand, hold tight
Don’t let go, begin to shine

[Hook]
And we can shine
Shine through all the hatred
Climb above the wasteland
And we can shine
Reach across division
Love through all the difference
Yeah, we can
And we can shine
Shine through all the hatred
Climb above the wasteland
And we can shine
Reach across division
Love through all the difference
Yeah, we can
