Let It Shine
Yeah, mm
If I told you how I came this far
And all the things that I've been through
Need I tell you that I, been to hell
I've seen it all and done it all
Growing up as a child wasn't easy
Had to work twice as hard, I was busy
Grandma was my inspiration
Every day, there was words for situation and
Shoes no laces, bread no tea
But I kept on coming strong
But that's when I looked to the mirror
And I told myself these words
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
And I say
This little light o' mine
Ooh, yeah
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
Let me tell you how I got this far
And all the pain I had to bear
We used to sleep five to a bed
Three at the top, two at the bottom
Life's so unfair, and that's how it is
Hopeless and useless, that's what they said
Grandma used to tell me, "No room for failure"
Every day a new drama
As I sit back and reminisce on the trauma
We used to have shoes no laces (hey) bread no tea (hey, hey)
That was how it used to be (oh, oh, oh ah)
Story's different now
And I'm a witness to better life
And I'm saying
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
Ooh, mine
This little light of mine (this little light of mine)
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
I know you don't feel I have a reason to (shine)
You're giving up because of what you're going through (shine)
It's no better way to explain to you
Than to tell you the world has a place for you (shine)
I know you're a star, and you were meant to (shine)
Tell all your neighbours and friends too (shine)
It won't take long, listen to this song
Spread love to another, you can't go wrong
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
Oh, this little light of mine oh, oh, oh ah
(I'm gonna let it shine) I'm gonna let it shine
(Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine)
All across the world
Little light of mine (this little light of mine)
I'm gonna let it shine (I'm gonna let it shine)
Everywhere I go
(This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine)
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
For the whole wide world to see
(This little light of mine) they mightn't understand it
(I'm gonna let it shine) why I have to let it shine
(This little light of mine) say y'all don't know my story
(I'm gonna let it shine) hey
(Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine)
Everywhere I go
I'm gonna let shine
(Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine) yeah
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
If I told you how I came this far
And all the things that I've been through
Need I tell you that I, been to hell
I've seen it all and done it all
Growing up as a child wasn't easy
