There’s a light that shines on
everybody
Shining brighter than the morning sun
Sometimes you feel like it’s all over
And then you realize that it’s all
just begun
And you shine
You ain’t afraid of nothing
And you’re brave
And you shine
Your glow's never gonna dim
You’re never gonna cave
I was hoping you might wanna know that
You’re on my mind’s center stage
I hope you accept this fondness that I got for you
I hope you have a good time acting your age
Cause it's the sight of you
Reminds me life's too short to behave
When you realize loves’ all you need
Then you’re floating free from your cage
It’s a lasting and pure connection
Energizing to my soul
Sweet like all of my recollections
Of you never letting go
Don’t let go
Don’t let
Dont let go
Ohhhh
There’s a light that shines on everybody
Shining brighter than the morning sun
Sometimes you feel like it’s all over
And then you realize that it’s all just begun
Like the stars above
That fill up the sky
And I shine cause
I’m so happy you’re mine

What’s with the shade of the hate you’re throwin’?
What’s with the hate and the shade you’re throwin’?
We all knew which way this was goin’
Breakin’ everything we touch even without knowin’
Come on come on
Bring on the suspense
Come on come on
Let the games commence
Everything you dream that would happen to you
It’s already happened
Yeah it all came true.
So do your worst or do your best
I don’t care, what you do w/ the rest
So do your worst or do your best
I don’t care, get me outta this mess
Come on come on bring the lion in
Shame me for my grave, grave sins
Everything you dreamed that would come to pass
Is already apart of your distant past
What’s with that skin?
What’s with that body your souls livin’ in?
Open your mouth it’s just chatter
Emotionally circuits and grey matter
So do your worst or do your best
I don’t care, what you do with the rest
So do your worst or do your best
I don’t care, get me the hell outta this mess
Come on, come on bring on the suspense
Let the games commence
Everything you dream that would happen to you
All of your fantasies
They can all came true.
Oh, I love this skin!
Yes, I love this body I’m living in!
Everything they say don’t matter
Open your heart and make the hate scatter!

Heaven's Door

I'm never coming home again
I'm not even safe in the house of God
And you can tell all my friends
I do it all just for pretend
False sense of security
Has no part in comforting me
Shot down at my front door
Don't want this so-called liberty, anymore
We don't know our friends from foes
We don’t know which way the wind blows
We’re so tired from all the crying
From all the innocent people dying
Vestiges of confederacy
Ignorance and hypocrisy
Evil white supremacy
Has no part in stopping me
False sense of authority
Has no part in stopping me
Shot down at glory’s door
Won’t wait for my equality, anymore
Looking for love at heaven’s door
