[Intro] [Soft, clean electric guitar and a single tambourine tap on the 2 and 4 beat] [Verse 1] Woke up late to a cloudy morning, missed my lunch again But the cafeterias knew my order, which I should call them friend Sometimes things don't go the way I've neatly, tightly planned But I'm learning how to deal the world with a softer hand [Pre-Chorus] [Drums kick in with a building pattern] then A song sing to myself, it's okay, it's alright This tiny little ember, it's still a steady light [Chorus] [FULL BAND! Energetic handclaps and tambourine] (Oh-oh-oh!) People will be their own small light, steady in the night A gentle kind of power, quiet but it's right And I'll shine it on the simple things that get me through the day our own small light, guiding our own way Shine a light! (Shine a light!) [Call and response gang vocals] [Verse 2] Scrolled through all the highlight reels, felt a little incomplete But then we saw you trying your best, and it felt so sweet [Pre-Chorus] [Drums kick in with a building pattern] then A song sing to myself, it's okay, it's alright This tiny little ember, it's still a steady light [Chorus] [FULL BAND! Energetic handclaps and tambourine] (Oh-oh-oh!) People will be their own small light, steady in the night A gentle kind of power, quiet but it's right And I'll shine it on the simple things that get me through the day our own small light, guiding our own way Shine a light! (Shine a light!) [Call and response gang vocals] [Bridge] [Music strips back to vocals and warm piano pads] I don't need a supernova, blinding, vast, and bright Just a spark that knows the value of a slow and steady fight So I'll fan this little flame, and I'll hold it up with pride [Final Chorus] [KEY CHANGE! Even bigger and more euphoric] (Oh-oh-oh!) People will be their own small light, steady in the night! A gentle kind of power, quiet but it's right! And I'll shine it on the simple things that get me through the day! our own small light, guiding our own way! Shine a light! (Shine a light!) [Outro] [Music fades with guitar and handclaps] My own small light... Shine a light...
