It's hard to find a man today with a good word for his neighbor   Except the one he's a talkin' to at the time   Should you find a man of God who'll have to talk to many   And there'll be those who'll doubt the one you find   Why don't you turn on your light and let it shine turn on your light and let it shine   Be a beacon someone's darkest night turn on your light and let it shine      Don't look without seein' or touch without feelin'   Take time to smell the flowers along the way   Behind the darkest stormy cloud the sun is always shinin'   So share a smile with someone every day   Why don't you turn on your light...   [ horns ]   When you see someone in trouble and there's no one they can turn to   Reach out the warm and friendly hand your touch of friendliness   Just may give the strenght that's needed   You could be the straw that saves the drawnin' man   Why don't you turn on your light...   If you'll just turn on your light...
