Shed A Little Light

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
So that we can see
Just a little light, oh lord

Wanna stand it on up

Stand it on up, oh lord
Wanna walk it on down
Shed a little light, oh lord

Cant get no light from the dollar bill

Dont give me no light from a tv screen

When I open my eyes
I wanna drink my fill

From the well on the hill
you know what I mean ?
Shed a little light, oh lord

So that we can see

Just a little light, oh lord

Wanna stand it on up
Stand it on up, oh lord

Wanna walk it on down
Shed a little light, oh lord

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

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
