John Legend & The Roots

They wait to plead their case, unknown cast aside.<br /> I love to see their face, can we spare the light?<br /> Are we afraid to see the prisoners of history?<br /> These beautiful minds, trapped inside.<br /> Bring them back to life.Let 'em shine.<br /> Let 'em shine on.<br /> Let 'em shine.<br /> Let 'em shine on.So dark, but I see sparks, if we don't snuff them out.<br /> We gotta light them flame, let them speak their name.<br /> Let them reach up to the clouds.<br /> Can't eat if we don't feed them.<br /> Can't read if we don't teach them.<br /> There's no line if we just hide them.<br /> Don't just let 'em die.Let 'em shine.<br /> Let 'em shine on.<br /> Let 'em shine.<br /> Let 'em shine on.<br /> Let 'em shine.<br /> Let 'em shine on.Oh stars flicker in the distance, lonely out in space.<br /> They sing out when we're not listening, because we don't see their face.<br /> We can let them die, we can make them high.<br /> Hold the little miracles that live inside.<br /> Let 'em shine.Let 'em shine.<br /> Let 'em shine on.<br /> Let 'em live.<br /> Let 'em shine on.<br /> Let 'em read on.<br /> Let 'em shine on.<br /> Let 'em grow.<br /> Let 'em shine on.<br /> Come on, let them love.<br /> Come on, let them love.<br /> Come on, let them love.<br /> Yeah.<br /> Yeah (let them love)Hold them close, let them know they'll get through the night<br /> Ordinary people could be a hero, don't blow out the light.<br /> Let 'em shine.<br /> Let 'em shine on.<br /> Let 'em shine.<br /> Let 'em shine on.<br /> Yeah, yeah, yeah.<br /> Let them shine on.<br /> <br /> Songwriters<br /> MAURICE, STEPHENSPublished by<br /> Lyrics © BMG RIGHTS MANAGEMENT US, LLC Song Discussions is protected by U.S. Patent 9401941.
