Each of us has a light in us
Deep inside real small
But it's enough just for us
We use it to enlighten each other
And if we come together
We're gonna make it better
Up to God I pray
We're gonna light up the world
But it'll take more than a day
Feel the illumination
All across the nation
Don't you feel the glow
Searchin' for, searchin' for a brighter tomorrow
One of us isn't bright enough
We need to help one another
Cause the world, well it's in the dark
But it's only gonna take one spark
One light bulb, no it's not enough
But ten might light the way
Now of course things are gonna be tough
Right now things are lookin' gray
But if we come together
We're gonna make it better
Up to God I pray
We're gonna light up the world
But it'll take more than a day
Feel the illumination
All across the nation
Don't you feel the glow
Searchin' for, searchin' for a brighter tomorrow
No it won't be easy it'll take a fight
A long, long day, and a hard day's night
But that's okay, cause the future
It's lookin' bright
Build a bridge not a wall
That's the quickest way to fall
Takin a shot of alcohol
Cause I'm in it for the long haul
1, 2, 3
Feel the illumination
All across the nation
Don't you feel the glow
Searchin' for, searchin' a brighter tomorrow
And if we come together
We're gonna make it better
Up to God I pray
We're gonna light up the world but
It'll take more than a day
