Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's time to make a start
To get to know your heart
Time to show your face
Time to take your place
[Verse 2]
In every speck of dust
In every universe
When you feel most alone
You will not be alone
[Verse 3]
Just shine a light on me
Shine a light
I'll shine a light on you
Shine a light
And you will see my shadow
On every wall
And you will see my footprint
On every floor
[Verse 4]
It only takes a spark
To tear the world apart
These tiny little things
That make it all begin
[Verse 5]
Just shine a light on me
Shine a light
I'll shine a light on you
Shine a light
And you will see my shadow
On every wall
And you'll see my reflection
In your free fall
[Verse 6]
Just shine a light on me
Shine a light
I'll shine a light on you
Shine a light
[Verse 7]
'Cause when your back's against the wall
That's when you show no fear at all
And when you're running out of time
That's when you hitch your star to mine
[Verse 8]
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by
Written by: Richard Hughes, Tim Rice-Oxley, Tom Chaplin
