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
