    People,
    Light up your light tonight,
    I wanna see you shine.
    Fight despair,
    Don't let it get you down,
    Don't let it tie you down.

    There's a man with a wife and three children
    Who's been told he can't work.
    There's a boy who's been told there's no future —
    He's been fed 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't let anyone turn your eyes.
    Look ahead,
    Don't stop to look behind,
    The past ain't no friend of mine.

    There's a failure who is standing on the corner
    For he cannot see hope.
    There's 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's 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,
    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.
