Lyric

When the morning papers shout bad news

And the grey sky hangs like worn-out shoes

You say it’s over, nothing left to prove

But I can feel a better groove

You’ve been walking with your head held low

Counting every crack in the road below

They tell you dreams don’t pay the rent

But I won’t buy what they invent

Don’t let them bring you down

Don’t let them steal your sound

Every time they draw the line

We’ll cross it right on time

Shout it to the top of the city tonight

Let the whole wide world know you’re alive

Hold your head high, let your heart ignite

We’re gonna shine, shine in the light

When the voices try to box you in

Call it luck or call it sin

Remember every wall can fall

When we decide to stand up tall

Clap your hands to the beating street

Feel that rhythm under your feet

Every doubt they ever said

Turn it into fire instead

Don’t let them bring you down

Don’t let them steal your sound

Every time they close the door

We’re knocking louder than before

Shout it to the top of the city tonight

Let the whole wide world know you’re alive

Hold your head high, let your heart ignite

We’re gonna shine, shine in the light

Shout it to the top, don’t stop, don’t hide

Lift your voice, let it be your guide

Through the rain, through the fight

We’re gonna shine, shine in the light
