Intro: Em, Dm. (4x)
Em. G/D. C Am
They wait to plead their case, unknown cast aside
Em. G/D. C. Am
I love to see their face, can we spare the lie?
G/F. C/E. G/F. C/E
Are we afraid to see them, prisoners of history
G/F. C/E. Cm/Db
These beautiful minds, trapped inside, bring them back to life
G. C. F
Let 'em shine, let 'em shine on
G. C. F
Let 'em shine, let 'em shine on
Em. Dm
Ooooooohhhhhhhhhh
Em. Dm
Aowwwww
So dark when I see sparks, if we don't snuff 'em out
We've gotta let 'em flame, let 'em speak their name
Let 'em reach up to the clouds
Can't eat if we don't feed 'em, can't read if we don't teach 'em
There's no light if we just hide 'em
Don't just let 'em die
Let 'em shine (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on
Let 'em shine (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on
Oh let 'em shine on (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on
Let 'em shine on (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine, on
G/F. C/E
Ohhhhh sparks flicker, in the distance
Cm/Db. G/D
Lonely out in space
G/F. C/E
They sing out, but we're not listening
Cm/Db. G/D
Cause we don't see their face
G/F. C/E
We can't let 'em die we can't, make 'em hide
Cm/Db. G/D
All the little miracles that live inside
Let 'em[A/C#] shine, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

G/F. C/E
Hold 'em close, let 'em know
G/F. C/E
That they'll get through the night
G/F. C/E
Ordinary people could, be a hero
