This Little Light - Mavis Staples

This little light of mine

I’m gonna let it shine

This little light of mine

I’m gonna let it shine

All in my home

I’m gonna let it shine

All in my room

I’m gonna let it shine, Shine now

The road was ruff (through the dark)

The way was long

I kept on singing that freedom song

My god promised me a rainbow sign

Just gotta let my little light shine

Don’t give up

Don’t back down

Don’t let the liar turn you around

My heart’s fixed

Way up in mind

I’m going out and let my little light shine

Shure gonna let my little light shine

All in the streets

I’m gonna let it shine

All in the battlefield

I’m gonna let it shine

See now I ain’t gonna fightin no rich man’s war

That ain’t what God wanted use me for

Killing folks it ain’t in my line

Shure ain’t no way to let my little light shine

Shine on me

Shine on me

Let the light from the lighthouse

.shine on me

You can’t fool all the people all the time

Get together let our little light shine

(oh yes)

Let it shine x4

This little light of mine

I’m gonna let it shine

This little light of mine

I’m gonna let it shine

When it’s cold

Let it shine

When the liar calls

Let it shine

In my home

Let it shine

In my room

Let it shine

When hatred calls

Let it shine

When it shines

Freedom shines

When it shines

No more sorrow

When it shine

No more pain

When it shine

Oh lord

When it shine

This little light of mine

I’m gonna let it shine

This little light of mine

I’m gonna let it shine
