Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walk in the light that shines so bright
Let your soul feel right, love is pure gold, yeah
[Verse 2]
Won't you wake up, wake up, walk in the light?
Won't you wake up, wake up, bring substance in your life?
(Wake up, wake up, ooh)
Won't you wake up, wake up, walk in the light?
Won't you wake up, wake up? Yeah
[Verse 3]
Where's your heart, where's your pride?
Has it all been pushed aside?
Life is dreams, livin' high
Yet no substance in your life
It's a hard world, I know
But don't give into the lies
You have always been a star
Everything you need's inside your heart
[Verse 4]
Ooh, your life is special, really special, yeah
Your flesh just burns in your soul (In your soul)
Truth and light will bless ya, it'll bless ya
Riches come and go, only love is pure gold
[Verse 5]
Many hearts, many lives have been touched when you realize
That you're worth it, you're the prize
But you have to heal inside
It's a hard world, I know
But don't give in to the lies
You have always been a star
Everything you need's inside your heart
[Verse 6]
See you always on the ground
But you need some peace of mind
Won't you slow down, take your time?
There's a million ways to shine, yeah
When you let the worldly things
Got to control your destiny
You gotta break or make a change
And then you'll find your stars will align
[Verse 7]
Ooh, your life is special, really special, yeah
Your flesh just burns in your soul (Burns in your soul)
Truth and light will bless ya, it'll bless ya
Riches come and go, only love is pure gold
[Verse 8]
Ooh, your life is special, really special, yeah (Really special, yeah)
Your flesh just burns in your soul (It burns in your soul)
Truth and light will bless ya, it'll bless ya
Riches come and go, only love is pure gold
[Verse 9]
Won't you wake up, wake up, walk in the light?
Won't you wake up, wake up, bring substance in your life?
Won't you wake up, wake up, walk in the light?
Won't you wake up, wake up? Yeah
[Verse 10]
Ooh, your life is special, really special, yeah (Really special)
Your flesh just burns in your soul (Burns in your soul)
Truth and light will bless ya, it'll bless ya
Riches come and go, only love is pure gold (Love is pure gold)
[Verse 11]
Ooh, your life is special, really special, yeah
(Your love great, you're so special, yeah, yeah)
Your flesh just burns in your soul (Yes, it is, burning in your soul)
Truth and light will bless ya, it'll bless ya
Riches come and go, only love is pure gold
[Verse 12]
Your love will help you find your treasure, have mercy
As you live from day to day (As you live form day to day)
'Cause only true love makes things better, yeah
'Cause true love never fades away, oh
