[John Legend]
3
They wait to plead their case, unknown cast aside
4
I love to see their face, can we spare the lie?
5
Are we afraid to see them, prisoners of history
6
These beautiful minds, trapped inside, bring them back to life
7
Let 'em shine, let 'em shine on
8
Let 'em shine, let 'em shine on
9
Ooooooohhhhhhhhhh
10
Aowwwww
11
So dark when I see sparks, if we don't snuff 'em out
12
We've gotta let 'em flame, let 'em speak their name
13
Let 'em reach up to the clouds
14
Can't eat if we don't feed 'em, can't read if we don't teach 'em
15
There's no light if we just hide 'em
16
Don't just let 'em die

Let 'em shine (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on

20
Let 'em shine on (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine, on
21
Ohhhhh sparks flicker, in the distance
22
Lonely out in space
23
They sing out, but we're not listening
24
Cause we don't see their face
25
We can't let 'em die we can't, make 'em hide
26
All the little miracles that live inside
27
Let 'em shine, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
28
Let 'em shine (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on
29
Let 'em live (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on
30
Let 'em be loved (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on
31
Let 'em growwww (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine, on

C'mon, YEAH-HA-HEAH-HA-HEAHH
36
Hold 'em close, let 'em know
37
That they'll get through the night
38
Ordinary people could, be a hero
39
Don't put out the light!
40
Let 'em shine, let 'em shine on [2X]
