(Uplifting folk/soul style, simple acoustic and drum heartbeat)
Verse 1
There’s a forest burning, a river dry,
There’s a soul curled up, too tired to cry.
There’s a city divided, a planet in pain,
There’s a whisper inside you calling your name.
Pre-Chorus 1
You don't have to fix it all,
You don't have to know the way,
You just have to shine your light
Where it’s needed today.
Chorus
Shine it on the broken ground,
Shine it on the walls that bound,
Shine it on the seeds unseen,
Shine it on the tattered dream.
No one’s too lost, no heart’s too small —
We’re all lights rising when the shadows fall.
Verse 2
There’s a teacher weary, a river choked,
There’s a child without a song to hold.
There’s a mountain crumbling, an ocean’s cry,
But the winds of change are filling the sky.
Pre-Chorus 2
You don’t have to climb alone,
You don’t have to see the end,
You just have to be the flame
Where the healing begins.
Chorus
Shine it on the broken ground,
Shine it on the walls that bound,
Shine it on the seeds unseen,
Shine it on the tattered dream.
No one’s too lost, no heart’s too small —
We’re all lights rising when the shadows fall.
Bridge (soft, building)
On the forests, on the fears,
On the wasted, on the tears,
On the hunger, on the fight,
On the lonely sleepless night,
Shine your courage, shine your doubt,
Every light is needed now.
Final Chorus (big, full harmony)
Shine it on the broken ground,
Shine it on the walls that bound,
Shine it on the seeds unseen,
Shine it on the tattered dream.
No one’s too lost, no heart’s too small —
We’re all lights rising when the shadows fall.
Outro (gentle fade)
You’re a light... you're a light...
Right where it's needed tonight.
