It feels like forever since I can remember It seems like it's always been this way Keep the good news to ourselves, like a secret we'll never tell I don't know why we've been so ashamed
But changes are in the air, sparks are starting everywhere And oh, what a sweet, sweet sound With millions of voices, singing new choruses Leading the way to higher ground
Keep on, keep on shinin' Wherever you may be Keep on, keep on shinin' For all the world to see
Having faith in the long run is easier said than done It's hard to live out in the light of day You're bruised and you're battered, your dreams have been shattered Your best laid plans scattered over the place
Despite all your tendencies, God sees it differently Your struggle's a time to grow And you, you're a miracle, anything but typical It's time for the whole wide world to know
