A recurring complication soon becomes an issue between Somalia and her boyfriend that bifurcate their relationship. Her relationship with Zavier is put to the test when every personal experience becomes communal. DIRECTOR'S NOTE The film underscores the integration of the relationship between the hearing and the Deaf communities as well as other cultures. We believe in integration and interaction that places strong emphasis in addressing communication barriers and toppling them. There are issues we would like to address for the lack of representation, inappropriate exploitations, and negative stereotyping and ineffective exposure.

Let your lovelight shine, let it shine
Refrain:
Let your lovelight shine on me
Shine throughout eternity
Let your lovelight shine on me
Let your lovelight shine on me
Shine throughout the world to see
Let your lovelight shine on me
Quiet whispers, death kisses
Wordly ways is vicious
I want to know what love is
'Cause yo it is ridiculous
In this foul nation
Not enough occupation
Too much starvation
I guess I lost my patience
I can't deal with the
Direction this world's going
Forget love, it seems
That hate is the word glowing
Because we hate each other
We hate the other color
It's a shame
To hear the kid say
He hates his mother
Sometimes I look in the sky
And ask god why it's like this
Filling of pain
Is a slight twist
From happiness that's what we all need
God I'm down low on my knees and beggin'
You please to shine your light down
And help us open our hearts
And stop the junkies
From shooting up their dope in the parks
And the light you shine on me
I'm a shine on another
And I'm a treat each person
Like they're my sister and brother
Refrain
Let it shine
Da,da,da,da,da,da,da,da.....
I want you to shine
I wanna thank you, lord god
For all the things that you did
I'ma show the love
That you gave me and show it to the kids
They're the future of this world
If they believe it or not
So it's only right
I try to teach the knowledge
I got I ain't saying that I'm perfect
'Cause we all do wrong
Ask your forgiveness
Let my light shine and then move on
There's a lot of problems in this world
That need to be solved
There's a lot of things that wouldn't happen
If we had love
To my unborn kids when you give them this earth
I'm a teacher `bout respect
And all the things in this world, right
Because we're all human
We're all breathing
We're all equal
In other world's we're all evil
( Let it shine)
Let our lovelight shine
Down from person to person
And like they say when you get married
For better or worsen
It can happen if we let peace and lovin it in
Open up our hearts lord
And shine the light in
Let it shine
Refrain
Da,da,da,da,da,da,da,da.....
You got to shine

And I reach deep inside my soul so I can still preach peace

Tell them down look the sky and you can follow my flight
Cause there ain´t nothing in the streets but distruction and death
And my plan to save the world is on the knowledge and trust
Keep your eyes on the good things that life can offer
Everuday I´m giving thanks for my mother and father
Tought me how to keep flying, when I´m rapidly change
If I feel I can´t make it, then call on his name
We all gonna fly, it´s just a matter of time
On the dropping of my love, I hope it falls on your mind
And the fence for your support is nothing but love
And together we´ll fly to the heavens above
