Shed a Little Light

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 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, yeah (Just a little light, oh, Lord) just a little light, oh, Lord (Want to stand it on up) stand it on up, oh (Stand it on up, oh, Lord) stand it on up, oh (Wanna walk it on down) Gonna shed a little light (shed a little light, oh, Lord) (Can't get no light from a dollar bill) Don't see me no light, no dollar bill (Don't give no light from the TV screen) no, no, no (When I open my eyes, I want to drink my fill) (From the well on the hill) I know you know what I mean (Shed a little light, oh, Lord) shed a little light, oh, Lord (So that we can see) oh, yeah (Just a little light, oh, Lord) just a little light, oh, Lord (Want to stand it on up) stand it on up, oh (Stand it on up, oh, Lord) stand it on up, oh (Wanna walk it on down) Gonna shed a little light (shed a little light, oh, Lord) (Shed a little light, oh) There's a feeling like the clenching of a fist There is a hunger in the center of the chest, oh yes There is a passage through the darkness and the mist, oh 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
