Once upon a time
A friend like you was hard to find
This world felt so unkind

And when I could not see
You shined a little light for me
I owe my life to you

Now you don't have to worry about being lonely
Ever again, man

Through thick and thin
If you need a friend
When lost in the night
I'll shine a light

I'll do all I can
When darkness closes in
I'll shine a light
I'll shine a light

Back when I was down
I could not lift my heart from the ground
You turned it all around

The least that I can do
Is to shine a little light for you
It's the least that I can do
Now you don't have to worry about being lonely
Ever again, man

Through thick and thin (Shine a light)
If you need a friend (I'll shine a light)
When lost in the night (Shine a light)
I'll shine a light (I'll shine a light)

I'll do all I can (Shine a light)
When darkness closes in (I'll shine a light)
I'll shine a light (Shine a light)
I'll shine a light (I'll shine a light)

In the dark, I could not see
You shined a little light on me
Now it's the least that I can do
To shine a little light on you

In the dark, I could not see
You shined a little light on me
Now it's the least that I can do
To shine a little light on you

Through thick and thin (Shine a light)
If you need a friend (I'll shine a light)
When lost in the night (Shine a light)
I'll shine a light (I'll shine a light)
I'll do all I can (Shine a light)
When darkness closes in (I'll shine a light)
I'll shine a light (Shine a light)
I'll shine a light (I'll shine a light)

Through thick and thin (Shine a light)
If you need a friend (I'll shine a light)
When lost in the night (Shine a light)
I'll shine a light (I'll shine a light)

I'll do all I can (Shine a light)
When darkness closes in
