So opportunity knocks on my door
I chose to let it in
I picked my backbone off the floor
'Cause I had to fight to win
And now this movie can begin

You say I'm down to earth
From what you see
You say I'm normal
What does that mean?

Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Or let me be
'Cause there's a light in me
No matter what you see
Shine a light on me
Or let me be

Words are never written how they read
Tell me, do you really wanna know the end?
The plot is always thicker than it seems
Oh, mysterious masters we must serve
Delivering the lives that we deserve

But don't call it luck
Oh that's not its name
If you were me
You'd feel the same

Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Or let me be
'Cause there's a light in you (there's a light in you)
No matter what you see (no matter how you feel)
Shine a light on me (so shine that light and you'll be free, yeah)
Or let me be

Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Or let me be
'Cause there's a light in you (there's a light in you)
No matter what you see (no matter how you feel)
Shine that light on you
And you'll be free (oh, you'll be free)

Shine a light
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Shine a light
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
