Shining Light

[Verse] Mama said to be a shining light, Lead with kindness, keep spirits bright, As the first born, I'll show the way, In every action, night and day. [Verse 2] Papa's boots are big to fill, But I’ll take steps, keep climbing that hill, Generations watch, hope in their eyes, I’ll be their guide, no compromise. [Chorus] Be the light in the darkest night, Stand up tall, be proud and right, With love as a beacon, burning strong, In a world that's sometimes wrong. [Verse 3] Sisters lookin’ up to me, Brothers laughing wild and free, It's a heavy load, but I'll be strong, For the ones who come along. [Bridge] When the shadows grow too near, I'll have faith and face my fear, A role model, rock solid, steady, For my family, always ready. [Chorus] Be the light in the darkest night, Stand up tall, be proud and right, With love as a beacon, burning strong, In a world that's sometimes wrong.
