1. I may be young, but I know where I stand;
I may be small, but I still understand
That I have a purpose, my life has a plan,
So say I can’t do it, but I know that I can.
So in a world that seems dark and dim,
With so many friends unable to see,
I have a light that burns brightly within
And I know I just can’t keep it inside of me.
Shine the light!
We will shine into a new day;
Shine the light!
Following the best way,
Shine the light!
We will walk the path together,
And shining our light,
We will shine into forever.
Shine the light!
We will stand for who we want to be;
Shine the light!
We will shine so you can see,
Shine the light!
And the world will be better,
’Cause I’ll shine the light
That’s been given to me.
2. It’s not a secret what one light can do,
And just imagine when one light is two.
When we’re together, and standing for truth,
The strength that is ours is the strength of our youth.
In ev’ry hour of ev’ry day
We know the light will lead us along.
We won’t wander away from the path
Because here in the light is where we belong.
Shine the light!
We will shine into a new day;
Shine the light!
Following the best way,
Shine the light!
We will walk the path together,
And shining our light,
We will shine into forever.
Shine the light!
We will stand for who we want to be;
Shine the light!
We will shine so you can see,
Shine the light!
And the world will be better,
’Cause I’ll shine the light
That’s been given to me,
To me…
Shine the light!
We will shine into a new day;
Shine the light!
Following the best way,
Shine the light!
We will walk the path together,
And shining our light,
We will shine into forever.
Shine the light!
We will stand for who we want to be;
Shine the light!
We will shine so you can see,
Shine the light!
And the world will be better,
’Cause I’ll shine the light
That’s been given to me,
Been given to me;
Shine the light
That’s been given
To me.
