Lyrics You Got the Light - Bobby Bare

You Got the Light

When you see your brother stumbling
Walking down life’s rocky road
And you reach out your hand
Help him lighten up his love
'Cause you got the light (You've got the light)
You got the light (You've got the light)
Well let it shine, let it shine
Let it shine
(You've got the light, you’ve got the light)
If you see him down and outer
And life’s got him on the ropes
And if you take some time to stop
And give him a little hope
Then you got the light (You've got the light)
You got the light (You've got the light)
Well let it shine let it shine
Let it shine
(You've got the light, baby that’s right)
If your brother’s lost in darkness
And cannot find his way
Shine your light so he can see
And brighten up his day
'Cause you got the light (You've got the light)
You’ve got the light (You've got the light)
Well let it shine, let it shine
Let it shine
(You've got the light, baby that’s right)
When you see evil all around you
That you don’t understand
Remember you are holding the light
Right in your hand
Got the light (You've got the light)
You’ve got the light (You've got the light)
Well you got the light, let it shine, let it shine
Let it shine
(You've got the light)
Oh, baby that’s right
Uh-huh
Might even change the world
It might not take too much
Start with a little mercy
Mercy and gentle touch
Understanding and forgiveness
You gotta let everybody know
That if you’re spread all around the world
Then maybe you can pray your soul
Yeah let it shine (You've got the light)
You’ve got the light (You've got the light)
Let it shine, let it shine
Let it shine
(You've got the light)
Let it shine, let it shine
Let it shine
(Baby that’s right)
You’ve got the light, let it shine, let it shine
(You've got the light)
