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
