Let It Shine |
| If I told you how I came this far, |
| And all the things that I’ve been through. |
| Need I tell you that I, been to hell; |
| I’ve seen it all and done it all. |
| Growing up as a child wasn’t easy, |
| Had to work twice as hard |
| I was busy |
| Grandma was my inspiration |
| Everyday there was words for situation. |
| Shoes no laces |
| Bread no tea |
| But I kept on coming strong |
| But that’s when I looked to the mirror |
| And I told myself these words |
| This little light o' mine |
| I’m gonna let it shine |
| And I say |
| This little light o' mine |
| Oh yeah |
| I’m gonna let it shine |
| Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine |
| Let me tell you how I got this far |
| And all the pain i had to bear |
| We used to sleep five to a bed, |
| 3 at the top, 2 at the bottom |
| Life’s so unfair |
| That’s how it is |
| Hopeless and useless |
| That’s what they said |
| Grandma used to tell me; |
| No room for failure |
| Everyday a new drama |
| As I sit back and reminisce on the trauma |
| We used to have |
| Shoes no laces |
| Bread no tea |
| That was how it used to be |
| Story’s different now |
| And I’m a witness to a better life |
| And I am saying |
| This little light o' mine |
| I’m gonna let it shine |
| Oooo mine |
| This little light o' mine |
| I’m gonna let it shine |
| Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine |
| I know you don’t feel you have a reason to |
| Shine |
| You’re giving up because of what you’re going through |
| Shine |
| There’s no better way to explain to you |
| Than to tell you the world has a place for you |
| Shine lyrics from |
| I know you’re a star and you were meant to |
| Shine |
| Tell all your neighbours and friends too |
| Shine |
| It won’t take long |
| Listen to this song |
| Spread love to another |
| You can’t go wrong |
| This little light o' mine |
| I’m gonna let it shine |
| O this little light o' mine |
| Oooo mine I |
| I’m gonna let it shine |
| Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine |
| Across the world, little light of mine |
| This little light o' mine |
| I’m gonna let it shine |
| Everywhere I go |
| This little light o' mine |
| I’m gonna let it shine |
| Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine |
| For the whole world, world to see. |
| This little light o' mine (They mightn’t understand it) |
| I’m gonna let it shine (Why I have to let it shine) |
| This little light o' mine (Say y’all don’t know my story) |
| I’m gonna let it shine |
| Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine |
| Hey |
| Everywhere I go o o o |
| I’m gonna let shine |
| Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine |
| Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine |
