Don’t hide, don’t hide
Set out on your way now
Move on, and fall, then rise
Don’t lie, don't lie
Don’t try to fool anyone
Stay true to who you are
There will be times
When it all falls apart but
Don’t ever give up
Let them hear all
That your heart won't leave unspoken
Don’t let fear take your ground from what’s right
Let them see all
What it means to stand unbroken
Make them feel hope, bring them the light
Don’t run, don’t run
Take time to figure it out
Who you want to become
Don’t lie, don’t lie
Don’t let all that glitters blind
You from where you belong
There will be times
When it all falls apart but
Don’t ever give up
There will be times
When the sun shines down just right
Don’t dull your own spark
Let them hear all
That your heart won't leave unspoken
Don’t let fear take your ground from what’s right
Let them see all
What it means to stand unbroken
Make them feel hope, bring them the light
(Light)
Don’t lose your faith
Don’t let evil lead your way
May your spark not fade again
Don’t lose your faith
Give more than you want to take
Be the rock, the light, the flame
Let them hear all
That your heart won't leave unspoken
Don’t let fear take your ground from what’s right
Let them see all
What it means to stand unbroken
Make them feel hope, bring them the light
Bring them hope
Bring them the light
Give all you care about
Don’t give up
There will be times
When the sun shines down just right
Don’t lose your faith
Don’t let evil lead your way
May your spark not fade again
Don’t lose your faith
Give more than you want to take
Be the rock, the light, the flame
Don’t lose your faith
Don’t let evil lead your way
May your spark not fade again
