about

“Throughout my recovery and healing journey I needed to go deeply inwards…This song is a reminder to push past my/our comfort zones, and step up into the light and creative potential we each have in our individual ways…to live outwardly, and in so doing we encourage others to step up also.”

lyrics

Let your light shine, Oh
Be all you can be, Oh
Let your light shine, Oh
Only then will you be free
Set it free

I was feelin’ kinda low, Oh
So met a friend for cheer, Oh
She gave me a comforting hug, ohh
Told me, just be here
She told me…

Let your light shine, Oh
Be all that you can be, Oh
Let your light shine, Oh
Only then will you be free
Let it shine

I was feelin’ just right
Strong, present and clear
He held me so tight
Whispered in my ear
He told me…

Let your light blind me
Be one with all you see
Let your light shine, Oh
Only then will you be free
Set it free

I opened my mouth to sing
Without a care for who might hear
I let the notes take to the wind
Felt and let go, of my fear
They told me…

Let your light shine, Oh
Be all you can be, Oh
Let your light shine, Oh
Only then will you be free
Let it shine

I looked inside of myself
Looked at all that I held dear
I couldn’t find an ending
Only yet another sphere
I said to me…

Let my light shine, Oh
Be all I can be, Oh
Let my light shine, Oh
Only then will I be free
Set it free

I look around at all of you
And the months turn to years
I see you grow, fall and stumble
And rise, to see us near
We say to you…

Let our light shine, Oh
Be all we can be, Oh
Let our light shine, Oh
Only then will we be free
Let our light shine, Oh
Be all we can be, Oh
Let our light shine, Oh
Only then will we be free
Set it free
