Lyrics
There are shakers
There are movers
Heart breakers and evil doers
Those who live between
the ordinary
And
Revolutionaries
There are those who seek
Quiet contemplation
Making sense of life’s big
Mysteries
CHORUS
So shine so bright and let it seep
Between the cracks of the misery that runs so deep
Shine so bright
Let your story be in bold the must important ever told
That’s worth it’s weight in gold
Some will float above the troubles
Or fall from expectations
Others rise out of the ashes
Determination
There are those who keep believing
They came here for a reason
So they’ll set their sails to find it
Still believing
CHORUS
They shine so bright and let it seep
Between the cracks of the misery that runs so deep
Shine so bright
Let your story be in bold the must important ever told
That’s worth it’s weight in gold
BRIDGE
Every footprint tells a story
city sidewalks
Tales of glory
Love, drama, wars, and comedy
Just History repeating
Every footprint just a sentence
of the tales of our descendants
Every heartbeat throughout time
Has somehow led to you and me
So what are we gonna do with it
What are we gonna do with it
CHORUS
We're gonna shine so bright we’ll let it seep
Between the cracks of the misery that runs so deep
Shine so bright
Let your story be in bold the must important ever told
That’s worth it’s weight in gold
Rise so high
Above the clouds of doubt that keep us back from all our dreams
Rise so high
You’re the author of your legacy choose what it’s gonna be
It’s worth your weight in gold
You’re worth your weight in gold.
