Let It Shine

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

Out on the street, in the rain, in the heat

When Ray plays his harp in the key of red wine

Ain't seen a dime all day

So I play what the kids wanna hear

While I sponge on Broadway

Shine, let it shine

Even if it burns your eyes

This light of mine is mighty

And I'm gonna let it shine

Even in the dark I'm gonna let it shine

Fine on the end like a holy roman candle

From the hand of a kid dressed in black

Gonna have to get your act together

Get off your banner and figure out your genre

But none of ya'll found it just

Shine, let it shine

Even if it burns your eyes

This light of mine is mighty

And I'm gonna let it shine

Everywhere I go I'm gonna let it shine

Ride on a bike from a marked place to Pike

Black hills of South Dakota, banks of Nova Scotia

This land is my land, it's your land too

Try to hold it in your hand and the sand falls through

Shine, let it shine

Even if it burns your eyes

This light of mine is mighty

And I'm gonna let it shine

God gave it to me and you, I'm gonna let it shine

Are we gonna get along or are we gonna get it on?

Everybody's wrong but who's side is he on

Holy war, what's the score? It doesn't matter anymore

Mirrors in the bathtub 'cause Jesus needs a good scrub

Until he shines

Even if it burns your eyes

This light of mine is mighty

And I'm gonna let it shine

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine

Listen to the music, I heard my friend say

If you can't save the world you better try to change it

Maybe use the government, war in middle Asia

Maybe it's you and me my friend

Shine, let it shine

Even if it burns your eyes

This light of mine is mighty

And I'm gonna let it shine
