[Verse 1]
Mama always told me don't be afraid to shine
Don't you try to please no one except the one inside
No, you can't change the weather
And you can't change where you're from
The color of your skin nor the beat of your own drum

[Chorus]
Life will keep you chasin' the wind
Just to keep you chasin' it again
But I know who I am, no matter what they say
When my heart leads the way, I will follow
When my heart leads the way, I will follow

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
It may be the road that nobody else goes down
But that's the one I'm taking if that's just where I'm bound
There's always gonna be those voices doubtin' every step
But I'm just gonna listen to what's poundin' in my chest

[Chorus]
Life will keep you chasin' the wind
Just to keep you chasin' it again
But I know who I am, no matter what they say
When my heart leads the way, I will follow
When my heart leads the way, I will follow
[Bridge]
Mama always told me don't be afraid to shine
This little light of mine

[Chorus]
Life will keep you chasin' the wind
Just to keep you chasin' it again
But I know who I am, no matter what they say
When my heart leads the way, I will follow
When my heart leads the way, I will follow

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Outro]
When my heart leads the way, I will follow
