Shine a Light

A diminished third and half-toned seventh 

Can transform joy into melancholy,

Sunshine into darkness,

Hope into despair,

Major into minor.

A twist here

A tweak there

Can bring the darkest night

Even to the brightest day.

Another twist here

Another tweak there

Can resolve that minor chord and

Shine a light into the shadows,

Change a frown into a smile,

Pierce the gloom with light,

And banish a minor grief

Into a major hope.
