Spread the Light

Intro

Mm

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

Grandmother taught me the word before the beat

Every drum remembers where its family sleeps

Baobab shadows whispered secrets in the breeze

She said carry this warmth across the seas

Pre-Chorus

Now I walk with fire in my open hand

Every stranger's doorway is a promised land

Chorus

Spread the light where the darkness grows

One small flame and the whole world knows

Hand to hand and heart to heart

This is how a new day starts

Post-Chorus

Oh light it up

Light it up

Verse 2

Neighbors call my name like a song we share

Laughter is the language that we all declare

Children on the roadside wave the evening in

Hope is just a promise that begins again

Pre-Chorus

Now I carry rhythm in my steady stride

Nothing walks beside me that I have to hide

Chorus

Spread the light where the darkness grows

One small flame and the whole world knows

Hand to hand and heart to heart

This is how a new day starts

Post-Chorus

Oh light it up

Light it up

Bridge

When morning finds the village green

I'll be the chorus in between

Chorus

Spread the light where the darkness grows

One small flame and the whole world knows

Hand to hand and heart to heart

This is how a new day starts
