Bright Uke tab by Lilli Furfaro

C
Bright
                   E
They called him bright
            F
That meant good
             C
That meant right

C
Proud
               E
He made them proud
              F
He had two friends
                C
And they stood out
              E
And people noticed
                     F
The people came to them
               C
And they told them
                 E
They could be brighter

Spark
His teacher lit a spark
The world was big
The world was dark
But he could light it
To keep his people safe
They taught him good
They taught him right
What's right

Am
  Lies
They'd fed him lies
He felt betrayed
So he cut ties

They were his family
He burned them all the same
Then he broke
And lost his mind, his friends, his name

Am
11 years as a pit of ash
                             F
Waiting to blow away in the wind
A washed-up wunderkind
                           C
Circuits blown to smoking pieces
Tried to leave him there
I tried to be someone different here
         E
But no matter the mud that dries on my face
It's cleaner than my insides

Am
You treat me like I'm special
Someone gifted, someone good
         F
Someone worthy, someone right
                                           C
I was bright, and now I'm torn to smoking pieces
No, don't get too close
                          E
Don't you know that fire burns?

Good
You called me good
I'll try to live
You said I could

Right
I'll make this right
You make me brave
I'll make us bright
When people notice
We'll bring the fire to them
And we'll show them
What makes us brighter
