Verse 1 (Oldwun)
Shine a light on me, even if its quietly / need u to take the lead so I
Can see the light thats guiding me / thru my darkest times
I need that light to shine / when i can't see a ray of hope, will you be
My fire fly? / Tip toein thru the unknown, ain't really cuttin it
Im sitting on the wall, need a breakthrough like its cutting edge / I
Heard when all the grey clouds clear the sky
Happiness resides cos its brighter on the other side / I seen shadows of
Doubt tryna consume me / I felt the heat and the pressure like a jacuzzi
I stayed on top, rose above it like hot air, I found my shine again /
Noticed the shadows were not there! / I saw the sun shine thru
I saw the skies turn blue / I grabbed ahold of my dreams, followed there
Every move / they re-ignited da spark to shine a light
So now i keep a candle by my bed to guide my dreams at night
Hook (AWA)
Shine a light… / For my people all around the world
From the ghetto / To Japan / Let the stars see your hands / Yeah…
For my people all around the world / From the hood / To the islands
Keep on rising / Take it to the highest
Verse 2 (Oldwun)
Shine a light on me, even if its moderately / lets keep it steady, keep
It flowin like its supposed to be / Highlight the way for the others to
Come thru
Show dem the way they can "try", "do it" & "dont do" / all i needed was
A light on me for a second
That opened up my eyes and got me circulating questions / is there more
To me being here then just existin
Or to spread my light and to get my people listenin / fact or fiction
My lifes had its share of friction / how i dealt wid it, was to get it
Out my system
To get wat was heavy on my heart, off my chest / ain't never done me
Wrong, ain't found no better yet / so I relay my light just like the
Olympic flame
With hope that other people too will run wid it one day / and spread the
Light themselves somethin like a morning rise
And bare witness to da shine thru sleepy eyes

Verse 3 (Oldwun)
Shine a light on me in all of its entirity / its time to merge the
Spotlights and house lights entirely / lets get together as 1, and shine
As a collective
Raise dem hands to da sky just get perspective / of whos wid me, who
Ain't, who on the wall / can't have no "i might be" man, its either or
So join all the pieces of the puzzle, get the picture/ u can take what
Was learnt and pa** it like a scripture / from N Z to Japan we came to
Bridge gaps
So shine a light on da Nesians over Goon Trax / and you too can see what
Is seen amongst da stars / we give dat shine back, no matter who ya are
Yeah.. No matter who ya are.. / We give dat shine back no matter who ya
Are
