[CHORUS] let 'em shine, shine like a diamond give 'em time and you'll fine theres not cover rose God's light shines for everybody so get outta His way nothin grows in shadows

[CHORUS] let 'em shine, shine like a diamond give 'em time and you'll fine theres not cover rose God's light shines for everybody so get outta His way nothin grows in shadows
