CHORUS
Let the sunshine in (SHINE)
in my beautiful skin, I (SHINE)
Cuz its from within
And you can see me glow every time I… (SHINE)

VERSE
When they catch a good glimpse of what I’m really on
I will get some followers
Prolly like a million
Smile so big that it's lookin’ like the ceilings gone
You be like is that the sun?
Nope it's just the bright one
Shades on, take a look (look) at this complexity
Not just a star I’m-a (I’m-a) I’m-a galaxy
I’m the big bang (big bang) written in the black stars
Everything that’s beautiful has me up at the start
My dreams are awakening everybody’s sleepin' in
Follow my light to the life we should be leadin'
My imagination is the fire earth is my knowledge
Wind is my word - Flow like water - (that’s my) that’s my power

CHORUS
Let the sunshine in (SHINE)
in my beautiful skin, I (SHINE)
Cuz its from within
And you can see me glow every time I… (SHINE)

Watch me shine

VERSE
I know rivers
Design pyramids
I mean...I...can fly
Like Pharaoh and Cleopatra did
I sing loud and yes I speak clearly
When it’s about my skin my hair my prayers my family
I’m a bird in the sky - Not like a bird caged
Carving out a true path - right up to center stage
Making my voice a tradition not a holiday
More than a month man my history is everyday
And everyday I pray 5 times and yes I do I pray for you
That you’ll tie it up tight in a pair of my shoes
Or my skin my hair my clothes my rights my life or the light on my skin and we can
