Lyrics-

Lost inside a mix of black and white
But then the rainbow of colors makes everything seem alright
Even when you’re losing the fight

Nowadays, polychromatic haze
Can make the shades of the gray that you used to feel fade away
The puzzle pieces start to capture what words can’t encapsulate

Now take a peek inside
And seek what you’ve always hoped to find
Cause one day you’ll finally understand
Who you’re meant to be
You’ll finally see, so believe

One too many times
You’ve closed up your heart and can’t rewind
But even in cloudy skies there are rays of light, so
You’ll open up the box with eyes open wide

Come on! Lend your hands to-to-to finally see the sun
You’re more than all the plastic parts that build you to make you one
The building blocks stack you up to the top
You’re crashing through like a jack-in-the-box
We’re unstoppable

Cause you’re shining like a bell, gonna let it ring
So rise on up and do your best cause you can be anything
Through any darkness, I can be a light
No matter what life ever throws your way
Go and shine bright!

8-bit life can help you realize
Despite what people around you say, you’re still winning the fight
No matter how hard they try

So turn up the bass, be yourself anyway
Since all the labels you’re born with eventually fade away
They never mattered cause one day your true self will take center stage

Now take a peek inside
And cast all the doubt you have aside
Cause one day you’ll finally understand
Who you’re meant to be
You’re starting to see, now believe

One step at a time
You’ll open the box and realize
That even in cloudy skies there are rays of light, so
You’ll cherish a new sight with eyes open wide

Come on! Lend your mind to-to-to finally be someone
Cause there’s no point in giving up on life when you’ve just begun
Your heart unlocks, destiny starts to knock
Live in the now, no time for afterthoughts
We’re unstoppable

Cause you’re stronger than a brutal one-hit K.O.
So listen up and shout it out so everyone else can know
Through any darkness, we can be a light
No matter what life ever throws your way
Go and shine bright!

So put your faith in me
Trust the emotions you can’t see
Start to embrace the warmth inside that you’ve kept hidden beneath

One too many times
You’ve closed up your heart but we’ll rewind
You’ll open up the box and I’ll take a bow
Nowhere to go but up now
Guess it’s time to show them how

So come on! Lend your hands to-to-to see the sun
You’re more than all the plastic parts that build you to make you one
The building blocks stack you up to the top
You’re crashing through like a jack-in-the-box
We’re unstoppable

Cause you’re shining like a bell, gonna let it ring
So rise on up and do your best cause you can be anything
Through any darkness, you can be a light
So aim to the sky tonight
Go and shine bright!
