I watched my springtime turn to fall,
I had my world, but I lost it all
A broken heart won't break your fall,
I could not walk, so I learned to crawl

All my sunshine turned to rain,
all my joy had turned to pain
But you lift me up from where I lay,
my world changed when you came

Light, I gotta let it shine, Light, I gotta let it shine
Light, I gotta let it shine, Light, I gotta let it shine

All my life I fought the law,
all my gods were made of straw,
But I've found a truth worth fighting for,
I found a truth worth dying for

Feel it building in my skies,
draw my strength from up on high,
I can leave my troubles far behind,
all I see is the light

Light, I gotta let it shine, light, I gotta let it shine
Light, I gotta let it shine, light, I gotta let it shine
