[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
Yes, it's Chard to beGlieve
When you're Gwell aware that
You're not what you Cmean to be
And your Chouse is full of unfDminished rooms
'Cause you're fGond of starts
But you find it hard to fCollow through
You Fthink you're recognized by your fCaults
But the mFirror that you hold is fCalse
'Cause yGou shineC  
[Chorus]
CHe shines His light through a Fprism
We give back what we're Amgiven
AmTo color this, to color this
FTo color this world, color this Cworld
CBe the friend you never had
FBe the one to take a sAmtand
AmSay it your way, say it your way
FSay it your own way
[Verse 2]
And it's Chard to belGieve
That I Gcount as much as those on either Cside of me
'Cause CI don't have it, whatDmever it takes
To be Glike them, they are gifted in so Cmany ways
Yes, we Fcould lay our talents in the Cearth
We could Fpile on the doubt like dCirt
Or wGe can shineC  
[Chorus]
CHe shines His light through a Fprism
We give back what we're Amgiven
AmTo color this, to color this
FTo color this world, color this Cworld
CBe the friend you never had
FBe the one to take a sAmtand
AmSay it your way, say it your way
FSay it your own way
[Chorus]
CHe shines His light through a Fprism
We give back what we're Amgiven
AmTo color this, to color this
FTo color this world, color this Cworld
CBe the friend you never had
FBe the one to take a sAmtand
AmSay it your way, say it your way
FSay it your own way

And your house is full of unfinished rooms

'Cause you're fond of starts

But you find it hard to follow through

You think you're recognized by your faults

F C

But the mirror that you hold is false

'Cause you shine

[Chorus]

He shines His light through a prism

We give back what we're given

To color this, to color this

To color this world, color this world

Be the friend you never had

Be the one to take a stand

Say it your way, say it your way

Say it your own way

[Verse 2]

And it's hard to believe

G C

That I count as much as those on either side of me

C Dm

'Cause I don't have it, whatever it takes

Yes, we could lay our talents in the earth

We could pile on the doubt like dirt

Or we can shine

He shines His light through a prism

We give back what we're given

To color this, to color this

To color this world, color this world

Be the friend you never had

Say it your way, say it your way

Say it your own way

To color this world, color this world

Be the friend you never had
