shine a light

you were born in a small town

always had dreams bigger than your brother

you know

hit the road where it forks down

make a decision

start from the gutter and know

big city lights

fast lane livin' but

you never forgot your roots

oh-oh-oh

back in time

daddy's advice

baby don't forget that you. shine a light

you have struggled before

now

and each time you made it out the other side

pick yourself up when you fall down

stand tall and never be afraid to cry

big city life

same thing different time

darlin' don't forget your roots
