Intro: E5 , Dm. (4x)

Em.                     G.                     C5                     A5
      They wait to plead their case, unknown cast aside
Em.               G.               C.                          A5
      I love to see their face, can we spare the lie?
G.             C.                     G.               C5
    Are we afraid to see them , prisoners of history
            G.                    C.                                 C5
These beautiful minds, trapped inside, bring them back to life
               G.                  C.     F5
Let 'em shine, let 'em shine on
               G.                   C.   F5
Let 'em shine, let 'em shine on
  Em.                D5
Ooooooohhhhhhhhhh
Em.            D5
Aowwwww

So dark when I see sparks, if we don't snuff 'em out
We've gotta let 'em flame, let 'em speak their name
Let 'em reach up to the clouds
Can't eat if we don't feed 'em , can't read if we don't teach 'em
There's no light if we just hide 'em
Don't just let 'em die
Let 'em shine (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on
Let 'em shine (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on
Oh let 'em shine on (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on
Let 'em shine on (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine, on

              G.                C5
Ohhhhh sparks flicker, in the distance
   C.          G5
Lonely out in space
   G.                    C5
They sing out, but we're not listening
     C.                    G5
Cause we don't see their face
           G.                            C5                     
We can't let 'em die we can't, make 'em hide
C.                           G5
All the little miracles that live inside
       A5
Let 'em shine, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

               G.                                             C.     F5
Let 'em shine (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on
Let 'em live (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on
Let 'em be loved (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on
Let 'em growwww (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine, on
C'mon let 'em love (yeah yeah yeah) hey
C'mon let 'em love (yeah yeah yeah) hey hey hey yeah
C'mon let 'em love (yeah yeah yeah) YEAH-HA-HEAH
C'mon, YEAH-HA-HEAH-HA-HEAHH

G.                       C5
Hold 'em close, let 'em know
G.                      C5
That they'll get through the night
G.                       C5
Ordinary people could, be a hero
      C5
Don't put out the light!

            G.                    C.     F5
