but that’s not who we are.

We are chil dren of the day.

So (Dm7)wake up, sleep er, lift your head.

(C)We were meant for more than this.

(F)Fight the shad ows, con quer death, (Bb2)make the most of the time we have left.

We are the light of the world,

we are the (Bb2)cit y on a hill.

We are the light of the world, and we got ta, we got ta, we got ta let the light shine.

We are the light of the world,

we are the (Bb2)cit y on a hill.

We are the light of the world, and we got ta, we got ta, we got ta let the light shine.

Let the light shine, let the light shine.
