People 
Light up your light tonight
I wanna see you shine

Fight despair
Don抰 let it get you down
Don抰 let it tie you down

There抯 a man with a wife and three children
Who抯 been told he can抰 work
There抯 a boy who抯 been told there抯 no future
He抯 been led by the blind.

And I can hear them crying 
As they try to sleep through the night
I can hear them cry
I can hear them cry

WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES

Hold on 
To what you believe is right 
Don抰 let anyone turn your eyes
Look ahead
Don抰 stop to look behind 
The past ain抰 no friend of mine
There抯 a failure who is standing on the corner
For he cannot see hope
There抯 a blind man who is standing at the crossroads
For he cannot see light

And as we fire the candles
We must make sure they burn through the night
For if they should die
There抎 be no light

WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES
WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
SHINE
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
SHINE

WE ARE THE LIGHT
SHINE ON, SHINE ON SHINE
WE ARE THE LIGHT
