[Intro] Everybody smiles when the banners rise, Everybody kneels when the crown walks by, But I hear whispers in the walls at night, Something ain’t right under the light. [Verse 1] Golden streets, perfect skies, Pretty words and polished lies, Hands held high like we’re all free, But they only love what they wanna see. Keep your head low, keep your heart clean, Don’t you dare show what you really mean, One little spark and they call it a crime, One little truth and they bury you alive. [Pre-Chorus] I was taught to hide the fire, Smile while I’m burning inside, But the more they try to silence me, The louder I come alive. [Chorus] There’s something under the light, Something they don’t wanna find, Everybody says we’re holy, But I see shadows in white. I can’t run from the fight, I can’t keep closing my eyes, If I’m the secret they’re afraid of, Then I’ll shine, shine, shine Under the light. [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, oh-oh, Under the light. Oh-oh, oh-oh, I’ll shine, shine, shine. [Verse 2] Marble halls, locked doors, Pretty peace built over wars, They point fingers, call it law, Then act surprised when the kingdom falls. Mothers cry, children pray, Some disappear by the break of day, Say it’s for safety, say it’s for peace, But fear wears armor in the city streets. [Pre-Chorus] I was told the world was simple, Good and evil, black and white, But the truth is never gentle When it steps into the light. [Chorus] There’s something under the light, Something they don’t wanna find, Everybody says we’re holy, But I see shadows in white. I can’t run from the fight, I can’t keep closing my eyes, If I’m the secret they’re afraid of, Then I’ll shine, shine, shine Under the light. [Bridge] Maybe I’m not broken, Maybe I’m not wrong, Maybe all this silence Was never mine to hold. If they built this kingdom On fear they call divine, Then let the walls remember The day I crossed the line. [Final Chorus] There’s something under the light, Something they don’t wanna find, Everybody says we’re holy, But I see shadows in white. I can’t run from the fight, I can’t keep closing my eyes, If I’m the secret they’re afraid of, Then I’ll shine, shine, shine Under the light. [Outro] Everybody smiles when the banners rise, Everybody kneels when the crown walks by, But I see cracks in the perfect white, And I’ll shine, shine, shine Under the light.
