Lyrics

Light It Up

I love the way that you strut when you step 'Cause it's who you are And I love the skirts and the shirts that you wear 'Cause it's who you are So don't change the way that you talk Can't you see that you've come so far? Don't let them change you You got something And it's always showing Oh Light it up, let them know it You're too loud to be crying Too bright now to stop it glowing Light it up, it's time to show it You're too strong to be tired Too close not to keep on going Don't waste who you are 'Cause I love the way that you groove to your tune 'Cause it's who you are And I love the sass and the way that you laugh 'Cause it's who you are So don't change the way that you talk Can't you see that you've come so far? Don't let them change you You got something And it's always showing Oh Light it up, let them know it You're too loud to be crying Too bright now to stop it glowing Light it up, it's time to show it You're too strong to be tired Too close not to keep on going Don't waste who you are Don't waste who you are (ah-ah-ah) Don't waste who you are (ah-ah) Ooh-hoo-hoo Woah, woah Don't waste who you are Don't waste who you are (ah-ah) Don't waste who you are (ah-ah) Woo, ooh-ooh Oh Don't waste who you are Light it up, let them know it (ooh-hoo-hoo) You're too loud to be crying Too bright now to stop it glowing Light it up
