Dread shine your light
So a child may follow
Many have been lost along the way (Way)
Until tonight turns into tomorrow
Teach them to be careful while they play (Play)
There's nothing wrong with having fun
Don't let the system tame you
It's just a part of being young
And even though they're quick to blame you
Picking on you like a plum
Because your dream became true
Now look what they've become
In open sight and plain view
They've already had a run
So meanwhile they try to change you
It's not over 'til its done
So please remain the same you

You might not think you know enough
Don't let deter you
It's all a part of growing up
And we're all young enough to learn too
And don't you live life in a rush
The past cannot be returned too
And when you feel like giving up
Remember patience is a virtue
When you fall, try to get up
Have some guts, I'm trying to urge you
Be proud of owning up
The truth will never hurt you

Dread shine your light
So a child may follow
'Cause many have been lost along the way (Yeah)
Until tonight turns into tomorrow
Teach them to be careful while they play
So when your rising starts
Be wise and smart
Try make your mark
Don't you hype and floss, and drive too fast
As life too short
Try make good times last
'Cause time fly past
And if time is money
That mean time cost
But it don't cost money
To joke and laugh
So if you love somebody
Hurry up and talk!
