Lyrics

Open Your Heart and let your light shine through
Open your mind the way that dreamers do
Open your eyes and see the world brand new
When you open your heart and let your light shine through.

Rainbows appear to chase away the rain
Just like tear can wash away your pain.
Stormy gray clouds turn into skies of blue
When you open your heart and let your light shine through.

Dream you can soar, that you can fly
Then spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
Follow your star, and let it take you far.
There are miracles happening right where you are...you are..
You know that you know who you are!

Why not say yes when you have your voice?
Why not choose hope when you have your choice?
Why not believe in all the magic you'll do
When you open your heart and let your light shine,
Open your heart and let your love shine,
Open your heart and let your light
Shine through!
