[Verse 1]

  A
A fire burns in you alone
    D
You set ablaze your very soul
    E                                Bm                   E
You breathe as if the air’s the only thing that feeds the flame
    A
The blood and sweat you sacrifice
   D
To high desire will suffice
  E                                   A
A cry that’s loud enough to shake the sky

[Pre-chorus]

                 D    A  E  A  A  D  A  E  A  A
Oh, let there be light
D                                     A/C#
Prayers given to the future will give back a sign to you

[Chorus]

                 D
Oh, let there be light
              E                 F#m9            A
Go forth, and bend the darkness to your runway
           D                E                  D           A
And beat a shining path you forge yourself and never stray
                 D
Oh, let there be light
               E                  F#m9         A
You’re running blind with shadows inches ahead
           D          E                 A
Believe in glory that comes with every step
E
Oh, let there be light
    D                E                 F#m            A
The reason that your feet are beating into the ground
            D                 E                F#m
You need to leap when you can fly, your sky is starbound
                 D
Oh, let there be light
            E          F#m9      A
The constellations you scatter today
               D                 E                    A     E
Will lead your friends down your path and light their way tomorrow

[Verse 2]

        A
There’s walls that block the way you seek
     D
With creatures crouching at their peak
      E                                 F#m              E
Their piercing eyes will feast upon the fear you fight inside
    A
The only chance you have to take
   D
Of breaking through with all your strength
  E                                   A
A cry that’s loud enough to shake the sky

[Alt Chorus]

                 D
Oh, let there be light
                 E                  F#m        A
You’ll bless the days you face your innermost fight
              D               E               F#m          A
Your shadow’s racing, keeping pace with every single stride
               D                 E                 F#m           A
Even when your stars go out, and leave you falling into the night
            D      E              A     A  A
Your inner fire ignites a shining light

[Chorus]

                D
So let there be light
              E                 F#m9          A
Go forth, and bend the darkness to your runway
           D                E                  D          A
And beat a shining path you forge yourself and never stray
                 D
Oh, let there be light
               E                  F#m9        A
You’re running blind with shadows inches ahead
           D          E                A
Believe in glory that comes with every step
E
Oh, let there be light
     D                  E            F#m9       A
Your shooting star you follow in the heavens tonight
      D                E              F#m
Burns brighter as your fire takes you to the sky
                 D
Oh, let there be light
           E           F#m9      A
The constellations you scatter today
               D                 E                    A
Will lead your friends down your path and light their way tomorrow

[Outro]

D
Prayers given to the future
          A/C#
Will give back a sign to you

And when they do
D
Dreams are burdens

You will learn this

Every wish you break is yours to take to Eden
E                A
Oh, let there be light!
