Shine Bright

As we go around the sun, holdin' on when the corners come

Puttin' ourselves out on the line, never heed the warnin' sign

Walk into the world ahead, learn everything that's ever been said

See everything that you can find, open up your mind

Shine bright, go on and take somebody with you

Shine bright, that's how you really live

You shine bright, it's a gift of givin'

When you feel the spirit, step into the light, shine bright

Choose your heroes, choose him well, listen to the stories they tell

Feel the planet goin' round and round, moon and stars are comin' unwound

Love your neighbor, teach your child, life, love, ties that bind

Be here now, 'cause now's the time, open up your eyes

Shine bright, be who you wanna be

Shine bright, for all the world to see

Shine bright, we're makin' history

Every time we breathe, tryna do it right

Heavy burden from a friend, be a pal till the bitter end

Life is work, and work is good, God is love, and love is true

Art is music, music is art, life's a story, play a part

Doesn't matter who you are, open up your heart

Shine bright, the reverend, Martin Luther King

Shine bright, first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong

Shine bright, number forty-two, Jackie Robinson

Shine bright, that Merry Prankster, Ken Kesey

Oh, shine bright, soul queen of New Orleans, Irma Thomas

Shine bright, Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Shine bright, Texas governor, Ann Richards

Shine bright, rockin' piano man, Little Richard

Oh, shine bright, the amazing Stephen Hawking

Shine bright, suffragist Susan B. Anthony

Shine bright, whoo, sister Rosa Parks, y'all

When you feel the spirit, step into the light, shine bright
