Shed a Little Light |
| Let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King |
| And recognize that there are ties between us |
| All men and women living on the Earth |
| Ties of hope and love, sister- and brotherhood |
| That we are bound together |
| In our desire to see the world become |
| A place in which our children |
| Can grow free and strong |
| We are bound together |
| By the task that stands before us |
| And the road that lies ahead |
| We are bound and we are bound |
| There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist |
| There is a hunger in the center of the chest |
| There is a passage through the darkness and the mist |
| And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest |
| Shed a little light, oh Lord (shed a little light, oh Lord) |
| So that we can see (oh now) |
| Just a little light, oh Lord (shed a little light, oh Lord) |
| I want to stand it on up (stand it on up, oh Lord) |
| Stand it on up, oh Lord (yeah now) |
| I want to walk it on down (oh shed a little light) |
| Shed a little light, oh Lord |
| Can’t get no light from the dollar bill |
| Don’t give me no light from a TV screen (no, no, no, no) |
| When I open my eyes |
| I wanna drink my fill |
| From the well on the hill (I know ya know what I mean) |
| Shed a little light, oh Lord (shed a little light, oh Lord) |
| So that we can see (ah ah yeah) |
| Just a little light, oh Lord (shed a little light, oh Lord, oh now) |
| I want to stand it on up (stand it on up) |
| Stand it on up, oh Lord (yeah now) |
| I want to walk it on down (oh shed a little light) |
| Shed a little light, oh Lord |
| Shed a little light, o Lord |
| There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist |
| There is a hunger in the center of the chest |
| There is a passage through the darkness and the mist |
| And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest |
| Oh, let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King |
| And recognize that there are ties between us |
| All men and women living on the Earth |
| Ties of hope and love, sister- and brotherhood |
