Title: Little Light [Verse 1] I was born in a box full of dust With the whole wide sky looking down Had a laugh too sharp for the angels Had a heart too loud for the ground They said boy you better hide that fire They said boy you better learn to behave But I came with a song in my ribcage And a little bit of trouble to raise I don’t know why the road chose me I don’t know why the night knows my name But I keep one hand on the sunrise And one hand buried in the flame I’ve been small I’ve been strange I’ve been lost in the holy rain But even when the world got heavy Something in me stayed awake [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I’m not what they prayed for Maybe I’m not what they planned But I got light in the cracks of me And a storm in the palm of my hand [Chorus] I’m a little light In a big dark room I’m a little hope With a cracked-up tune I’m a little wild I’m a little wrong But I still shine When the night gets long I’m a little prayer With a rebel smile I’m a little heaven Running loose for miles I don’t need wings To prove I can fly I was born with stars In the back of my eyes [Verse 2] I got dirt on my Sunday shoes I got gold where the scars came through I got dreams that don’t sit still And a voice that tells the truth Some folks want a clean white story Some folks want a quiet child But I was made from dust and glory With a heart that came out wild I’ve been laughed at I’ve been doubted I’ve been left outside the door But the ones who called me broken Never saw what broken’s for There’s a song in every shadow There’s a spark in every fall There’s a crown inside the lonely There’s a kingdom in us all [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I’m not what they prayed for Maybe I’m not what they planned But I got light in the cracks of me And a storm in the palm of my hand [Chorus] I’m a little light In a big dark room I’m a little hope With a cracked-up tune I’m a little wild I’m a little wrong But I still shine When the night gets long I’m a little prayer With a rebel smile I’m a little heaven Running loose for miles I don’t need wings To prove I can fly I was born with stars In the back of my eyes [Bridge] Let the world be loud Let the thunder roll Let the dust rise up Let the river go I am more than the place I started More than the names they gave More than the fear that followed More than the hands that waved I am small but I am burning I am bruised but I am bright I am proof that even darkness Can give birth to light [Breakdown] Little light Keep on glowing Little heart Keep on knowing Little voice Keep on singing Little soul Keep on reaching [Final Chorus] I’m a little light In a big dark room I’m a little hope With a cracked-up tune I’m a little wild I’m a little wrong But I still shine When the night gets long I’m a little prayer With a rebel smile I’m a little heaven Running loose for miles I don’t need wings To prove I can fly I was born with stars In the back of my eyes [Outro] I was born with stars In the back of my eyes I was born with stars In the back of my eyes
