Make Your Weird Light Shine Bright

V5.5

[Verse 1]
There's a frequency humming underneath the floor,
A little strange knock coming through the door.
Everybody's wearing masks that fit too tight,
You can leave yours hanging in the porch light.
You were never built for walking in a line,
You got galaxies tangled up inside your mind.
They might call you crazy, they might call you odd,
But the road gets better when you stop asking God
For permission to be what you already are,
A beautiful glitch underneath every star.
[Pre-Chorus]
So don't turn it down,
Don't hide underground,
Let the whole damn neighborhood know
You're around.
[Chorus]
Make your weird light shine bright,
Shine it through the black of night.
Make it strange, make it loud,
Let it burn above the crowd.
If you're lost and you're looking for your kind,
Put a beacon in the sky.
Make your weird light shine bright,
So other weirdos know where to find you tonight.
[Verse 2]
There's a girl with a kazoo on the corner at three,
A man talking backwards to a sycamore tree.
Somebody's dancing with a shopping cart,
Somebody's building a spaceship in their backyard.
There's a poet sleeping underneath the stairs,
A scientist counting invisible bears.
A kid with a pocket full of thunder and string,
A guy who swears his toaster learned how to sing.
And somewhere out there, somebody just like you
Is wondering if anybody else feels it too.
They're scanning the darkness for a signal, a sign,
So light up the weirdness and give 'em a line.
[Chorus]
Make your weird light shine bright,
Shine it through the black of night.
Make it crooked, make it wild,
Make it unmistakably your style.
If you're lost and you're looking for your kind,
Put a beacon in the sky.
Make your weird light shine bright,
So other weirdos know where to find you tonight.
[Bridge]
Don't polish the edges.
Don't straighten the grin.
Don't make yourself smaller
Just to let somebody in.
Your odd little orbit,
Your beautiful noise,
Your busted-up spaceship,
Your unreasonable joy.
There's no need to blend in
When the signal is true.
The people you're looking for
Are looking for you.
[Breakdown]
WEIRDOS OF THE WORLD...
CHECK YOUR LIGHT.
If it flickers...
LET IT FLICKER.
If it screams...
LET IT SCREAM.
If it glows purple at 4:17 in the morning...
GOOD.
SOMEBODY OUT THERE
NEEDS TO SEE IT.
[Final Chorus]
Make your weird light shine bright,
Shine it like you mean to be alive.
Make it beautiful, make it bizarre,
Hang your little signal from a star.
And if nobody understands you tonight,
That's alright.
Somebody will.
Make your weird light shine bright,
So other weirdos know where to find you.
Make your weird light shine bright,
So other weirdos know where to find you.
[Outro]
Keep shining.
Keep strange.
Keep your frequency alive.
Somewhere in the dark,
another beautiful freak
just saw your light.
And they're coming home.
