CHORUS
E A E B7
Shine your light, a - gainst the dark, stand upright and make your mark
E A E B7 E
Do your best, wher - ever you may be, and shine your light for me
VERSE 1
E A E B7
Long ago when I was just, a boy of tender years
E A E B7 E
My father told me life's a road, paved with joy and tears
E A E B7
And as you travel you must choose, between what's right and wrong
E A E B7 E
Remember sin is giving in, for Heaven's sake be strong
CHORUS
E A E B7
Shine your light, a - gainst the dark, stand upright and make your mark
E A E B7 E
Do your best, wher - ever you may be, and shine your light for me
VERSE 2
E A E B7
As I grew be - yond my teens, the world began to press
E A E B7 E
My father's words be - gan to fade, lost to selfish - ness
E A E B7
And after years of walking down, the wrong side of the track
E A E B7 E
One night I cried and deep inside, my father's words came back
CHORUS
E A E B7
Shine your light, a - gainst the dark, stand upright and make your mark
E A E B7 E
Do your best, wher - ever you may be, and shine your light for me
BRIDGE
A E A E
My father said that kindness is, the light of God in man
E A E B7 E
So I was told to shine like gold, on every - one I can
