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
