V1 A blank stare out the window tears fall from your eyes far across the ocean a soldier hears your cries. When thunderstorms awaken you and darkness makes you weep, Bo, just light a candle let me sing you back to sleep. chorus let it shine let it shine let the light replace the night with a little bit of mine keep the flame keep the flame don't let it die before you and I are together once again, Just let it shine V2 Im sitting on the runway like a bird with a broken wing, loneliness envelopes you, still, you try to sing The ground is far below me the sky I'm now a part. Quiet fills the air except a song inside my heart. chorus let it shine let it shine let the light replace the night with a little bit of mine hold the flame hold the flame dont let it die before you and I are together once again, let it shine solo V3 I pull up just past midnight not a single light in view but a candle in the corner and a silhouette of you you meet me in the doorway a candle lights the way "You said, "Daddy, I love you" then we both blew out the flame. chorus let it shine let it shine you let the light replace the night with a little bit of mine fade away fade away the flame has died now Im that light to guide you on your way, let it shine. I hope I shine let it shine. let it shine
