You've been searchin' for your special sign

But look within yourself, you'll see there's treasure deep inside

Why waste your time chasin' someone's fantasy

When all you need is right here, waitin' patiently?

So let your light ignite, no need to hide

Let the rhythm take control, feel the tide

Of pure joy flowin' through your soul, so bright

Yeah, let it shine, let it take flight

'Cause we're gonna sparkle, gonna shine so bright

Together we'll light up the darkest night

Every moment, every beat, every gleam

Living out our wildest, brightest dream

Hand in hand, we stand, united and strong
