They say we live in a bad world
Of people cold and mean
Coming out of the woodwork
To plot an evil scheme
But if you look a little closer
Nothing's really what it seems
I know you're looking for answers
You wanna know what it means

Shine a light on the system
And let the whole world see
Shine a light on your brothers
Shine your light on me

I know it's hard from a distance
A million miles away
But all the good things we're missing
Are coming back one day
It's like you live in a bad bad dream
And still you're wide awake
I don't know all of the answers, but
We're gonna be ok

Shine a light on the system
And let the whole world see
Shine a light on your brothers
Shine your light on me
Shine a light on each other
That's how we make it through
Tell your mother you love her
Shine a light on you

Let's do it now... come on

It's like you live in a bad bad dream
And you don't what to do
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light on you

Shine a light on the system
And let the whole world see
Shine a light on your brothers
Shine your light on me
Shine a light on each other
That's how we make it through
Tell your mother you love her
She'll shine a light on you

Shine a light on you
Shine a light on you
Shine a light on you
Shine a light on you
