It’s been a long long night
My brothers and sisters
Now we can claim the day
So when we wake up
We pray
And when we wake up
We say
Oh yeah We Shine
Oh yeah We Shine
Oh yeah We Shine
Yeah We Shine
Even on a cloudy day
Oh yeah We Shine (Shine, shine, shine)
Oh yeah We Shine (Shine, shine, shine)
You see We Shine (Shine, shine, shine)
Yeah We Shine
Even on a cloudy day
Swah
Up early in the morning
Getting ready to put work in
Whatever place you was born in
There’s one thing for certain
None of us are perfect
And that truth wont hurt
Can’t find a purpose
If you don’t search
Hamburg to Jo’burg
You roam Earth
But the people can only follow you
When you go first
(Oh yeah We Shine)
I put trust in the process
I put trust in the process
(Oh yeah We Shine)
We show love to the homeless
We show love to the homeless
(Oh yeah We Shine)
Help for those suffering
And feel hopeless
Means more to me than a gold disc
So now request and reload this
I want to hear
Everybody around the globe sing
Oh yeah we shine
Oh yeah we shine
Oh yeah we shine
Yeah we shine
Even on a cloudy day
Everybody around the globe sing
Oh yeah we shine (Shine, shine, shine)
Oh yeah we shine (Shine, shine, shine)
You see we shine (Shine, shine, shine)
Yeah we shine
Now request and reload this
I want to hear
Every body around the globe sing
The vibes don’t stop until we say so
And now it’s time to take it to the main stage
‘Cause when we take a shot
We never aim low
Next chapter
Are we on the same page?
From the tens to the hundreds of thousands
A million a billion and counting
Crowd bouncing got them on the cloud
Singing it’s a New Reign
And this is our announcement
Change comes
Even if the change only
Saves some
At least it’s a start
When the day’s done
And it leads to the dark
Sing the same song
That will lead to the spark
Always remember
Where you came from
Believe in the power of the people
And all over the planet
Is the same Sun
We’re all equal let everybody see you
We shine
Open your eyes you can see it
You’ll be surprised when you feel it
Shine shine
Shine shine shine
Now request and reload this
I want to hear
Everybody all around the globe sing
Oh yeah We Shine
Oh yeah We Shine
Oh yeah We Shine
Yeah We Shine
Even on a cloudy day
Oh yeah We Shine (Shine, shine, shine)
Oh yeah We Shine (Shine, shine, shine)
You see We Shine (Shine, shine, shine)
Yeah We Shine
Now request and reload this
I want to hear
Everybody around the globe sing
