Shed a Little Light Lyrics
[00:01.57] Oh, let us turn our thoughts today
[00:03.71] To Martin Luther King
[00:06.90] And recognize that there are ties between us
[00:11.45] All men and women living on the Earth
[00:18.08] Ties of hope and love
[00:21.60] Sister and brotherhood
[00:26.15] That we are bound together
[00:29.14] In our desire to see the world
[00:32.64] Become a place in which our children
[00:35.14] Can grow free and strong
[00:39.95] We are bound together by the task
[00:44.58] That stands before us
[00:46.95] And the road that lies ahead
[00:49.72] We are bound, and we are bound
[00:55.07] There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
[01:01.43] There is a hunger in the center of the chest
[01:07.23] There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
[01:13.55] And though the body sleeps
[01:16.26] The heart will never rest
[01:19.48] Shed a little light, oh Lord (shed a little light, oh Lord)
[01:24.29] So that we can see, oh yeah
[01:28.08] Just a little light, oh Lord. (just a little light, oh Lord)
[01:32.22] Want to stand it on up
[01:35.83] Stand it on up, oh Lord (stand it on up, Lord)
[01:38.38] Want to walk it on down
[01:44.89] Gonna shed a little light, oh Lord (shed a little light, oh Lord)
[01:50.51] Can't get no light from a dollar bill
[01:53.30] (Don't see me no light from a dollar bill)
[01:56.86] Don't give me no light from a TV screen, oh no, no
[02:01.63] When I open my eyes, I want to drink my fill
[02:06.66] From the well on the hill
[02:09.12] I know you know what I mean
[02:12.85] Shed a little light, oh Lord (shed a little light, oh Lord)
[02:17.65] So that we can see, oh yeah
[02:21.88] Just a little light, oh Lord (just a little light, oh Lord)
[02:25.07] Want to stand it on up
[02:29.46] Stand it on up, oh Lord (stand it on up, oh Lord)
[02:33.27] Stand on up, Lord
[02:36.86] Want to walk it on down
[02:38.92] Gonna shed a little light, oh Lord (shed a little light, oh Lord)
[02:41.82] Shed a little light, Lord
[02:52.25] There's a feeling like the clenching of a fist
[02:57.94] There is a hunger in the center of the chest, oh yes
[03:04.88] There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
[03:09.75] And though the body sleeps
[03:12.89] The heart will never rest
