Let it Shine

This little light of mine

I'm gunna 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 spange on broadway

CHORUS

Shine, let it shine

Even if it burns your eyes

This light of mine is mighty

And I'm gunna let it shine.

Even in the dark

I'm gunna let it shine

Fine on the end like a holy roman candle

From the hand of a kid dressed in black

Gunna have t' get your act together

Get off yer banner, and figure out your genre

But none of ya'll found it

Just..

CHORUS

Everywhere I go

I'm gunna 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 t' hold it in your hand, and the sand falls through

CHORUS

God gave it to me and you

I'm gunna let it shine

Are we gunna get along, or are we gunna 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 gunna let it shine.

This little light of mine

I'm gunna let it shine

Listen to the music, I heard my friend say

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

Maybe use the government, war in middle Asia

Maybe it's you and me my friend

CHORUS
