lyrics

I wanna shine like a star in the sky
Things are hard but I never my spirit die
I’ve been smiling since the day I was born
Yeah, I was made for more

Building my life on things I believe
Can’t convince me that I wont achieve
Looking up and it’s love that I see
Yeah

I wanna be a light in the dark
Shine like a diamond while making my mark
Igniting the true love in everyone’s heart
I wanna be a light in the dark

I wanna shine like a city on a hill
Can’t cover me, yeah you know they never will
A bright light in the middle of the dark
'Cause it only takes one to light a spark
I keep my eyes on all that is true
Showin' love in everything I do
Being kind cuz I don’t know what you’re goin through
I’ll be right here (yeah)
Someone you can talk to

I wanna be a light in the dark
Shine like a diamond while making my mark
Igniting the true love in everyone’s heart
I wanna be a light in the dark

I wanna be a star in the sky
Changing the world with one song at a time
Creating collections of souls that collide
Here in this moment of friendship tonight

I wanna be a light in the dark
Shine like a diamond while making my mark
Igniting the true love in everyone’s heart
I wanna be a light in the dark

I wanna be a light in the dark
Shine like a diamond while making my mark
Igniting the true love in everyone’s heart
I wanna be a light in the dark

Be a light
Yeah
Shine it

It's smooth and easy to listen to taking me back to my childhood days, riding in dad's LTD listening to disco inspired pop hits. Only this has a modern twist. Love it! Jen Msumba
