about
“Hold Tight Shine Bright” is a compilation album with a basic goal in mind—the preservation and promotion of love, hope and family. The children’s musicians, artists, collaborators, and contributors on this album believe that families seeking refuge in the United States of America need to remain together. We believe that unification is paramount and that children should be treated as such—children. The proceeds from “Hold Tight Shine Bright” will all go RAICES, Refugees and Immigration Center for Education Legal Services. RAICES is currently providing free and low-cost legal service to underserved immigrant children and families, which we believe is crucial in making a real difference.
Our goal is to spread light in to the dark corners, raise awareness, and promote family unification.
"Shine Your Light" is written and performed by the Hold Tight Shine Bright Project whose members include Andrew & Polly, Lucky Diaz & the Family Jam Band, and Mista Cookie Jar.
lyrics
Lyrics:
In the wild wild world
of 7 billion faces,
your little smile
shows me where my home is.
If we got pulled apart
we’d have to find our brave.
Those would be my longest days.
If you lose yourself
in the darkest cell
without even a spark,
close your eyes and sing
the song you have within.
It is everything.
Shine your light.
Hold on tightly.
And I will find you.
Shine your light.
Hold on tightly.
And I will find you.
Now, I would never ever ever
wanna lose you.
But if I did, hang tight.
I’ll be coming to you.
Out of 4, 5, 6, 7 billion faces.
Yours and your siblings
are my very favorites.
You mean everything to me.
My cosmic summation.
If you were my phone,
I’d enable your location.
Each and everybody
is somebody’s top most.
But don’t worry
you’re the center
of my cosmos.
And I’m-a-find you.
If you lose yourself
in the darkest cell
without even a spark,
close your eyes and sing
the song you have within.
It is everything.
You are everything
and I’m coming for ya.
Shine your light
Hold on tightly
And I will find you.
Shine your light
Hold on tightly.
And I will find you.
Shine your light
You are mighty
I’m coming for ya.
Shine your light
Hold on tightly.
And I will find you.
In the wild wild world
of 7 billion faces,
your little smile
shows me where my home is.
