  • Let it shine, oh, let it shine.
    Let it shine, oh, let it shine.
    Let it shine, oh, let it shine.
    Let it shine, oh, let it shine.

    Shadows fall.
    The ocean calls to me.
    The night is still.
    She's where I want to be.
    The stars all send
    Their silver light to me.
    Forever shine;
    On me eternally.

    I couldn't think of anything
    That gives me more than what you bring.
    The color of an endless dream.
    Let it shine,
    Let it shine.

    [Chorus]
    There comes a burning fire,
    It fills me with desire,
    And all my troubles disappear.
    Feels like it's goin' through me,
    Whatever you do to me;
    Your words are magic to my ears.
    Let it shine.

    A flame that grows,
    And burns so deep in me.
    Somebody cries
    For all the world to see.
    Another time,
    There will be ectasy.
    Another place,
    You will be next to me.

    Of all the lives that I've been through,
    I never really thought it was true;
    That all I ever needed was you.
    Let it shine.
    Let it shine.

    Let it shine, oh, let it shine.
    Let it shine, oh, let it shine.
    Let it shine, oh, let it shine.
    Let it shine, oh, let it shine.

    [Chorus]

    Let it shine.
