You were born in a small town

Always had dreams bigger than your brother, you know it

Hit the road where it forks down

Made good decisions

Start from the gutter, you know it

Big city lives, fast lane living but

You never forgot your roots, oh ooh

Back in town, daddy's advice

Baby don't forget that you

Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light

Shine a light, shine a light

Everywhere you go

Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light

Shine a light, shine a light

Everyone you know

Shine a light

Shine a light

You've struggled before now

Each time you made out the other side

Pick yourself up when you fall down

Stand tall and never be afraid to cry

Big city life, same thing, different town

Darling don't forget your roots, well

Back in town, momma's advice

Baby don't forget that you

Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light

Shine a light, shine a light

Everywhere you go

Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light

Shine a light, shine a light

With everyone you know

Shine a light, yeah

Shine a light

People love and people cry

People live and people die

And I'll never meet another life like you

Every day and every night

Teaching you wrong from right

Now you get to shine a light don't you, don't you

Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light

Shine a light, shine a light

Everywhere you go

Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light

Shine a light, shine a light

Let everybody know

Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light

Shine a light, shine a light

Everywhere you go

Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light

Shine a light, shine a light

With everyone you know

Shine a light

Shine a light

Hey

You were born in a small town
