Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Give me a word, give me a sign
Show me where to look and tell me, what will I find?
What will I find?
[Verse 2]
Lay me on the ground, fly me in the sky
Show me where to look and tell me, what will I find?
What will I find?
[Verse 3]
Yeah
Oh, Heaven, let your light shine down
Oh, Heaven, let your light shine down
Oh, Heaven, let your light shine down
Oh, Heaven, let your light shine
[Verse 4]
Love is in the water, love is in the air
Show me where to look and tell me, will love be there?
Will love be there?
[Verse 5]
Teach me how to speak, teach me how to share
Teach me where to go and tell me, will love be there?
Will love be there?
[Verse 6]
Yeah
Oh, Heaven, let your light shine down
Oh, Heaven, let your light shine down
Oh, Heaven, let your light shine down
Oh, Heaven, let your light shine
[Verse 7]
Give me a word, give me a sign
Show me where to look and tell me, what will I find?
What will I find?
[Verse 8]
Lord, teach me how to speak, teach me how to share
Teach me where to go and tell me, will love be there?
Will love be there?
[Verse 9]
Yeah
Oh, Heaven, let your light shine down
Oh, Heaven, let your light shine down
Oh, Heaven, let your light shine down
Oh, Heaven, let your light shine
[Verse 10]
Oh, Heaven, let your light shine down
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
Heaven, let your light shine down
Let it shine
Heaven, let your light shine down
[Verse 11]
Shine
Heaven, let your light shine down
Heaven, let your light shine down
[Verse 12]
Shine
Shine
Just give me a word, give me a sign
Shine
Let it shine, let it shine
Teach me how to share, teach me where to go
Tell me, will love be there?
Shine
