Just imagine if everything you wanted came true (hey)

Well, it happened to me, so it can happen to you

We're on a journey of truth and belief is the key (oh-oh)

So open up your heart and let your light free

Oh, and I feel like I'm glowin' (oh, yeah)

And I like where I'm goin' (oh, yeah)

Tonight, I'm showin' up to shine (oh, yeah)

This little light of mine (okay, okay, okay, hey)

And asking everyone to put your hands up, stand up (put your hands up)

Roxanne, come take my hand and make the congregation rock

We're celebratin' and it feels so good (yeah)

If I could thank everybody here, I would (come on)

I feel like I'm finally free and I

Yeah, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to fly, yeah

Oh, and I feel like I'm glowin' (oh, yeah)

And I like where I'm goin' (oh, yeah)
