Let Your Light Shine - R. Kelly

This song is dedicated

To the city of New Orleans

From the whole world, let’s go

I feel your heartbeat, I see your tears fall

I see your hands go up, now you’ve given up on it all

I see your head go down, I know you’ve lost hope

You’re walls keep on comin' down and you can’t take no more

Every road you travel seems like your journey’s end

That life’s an endless battle that you can’t seem to win

Well I say, stand up and claim what’s yours

Leave those troubles behind and don’t you look back no more

Let your light shine on the world

Let your light shine

Let your light shine on the world

Let your light shine, let your light shine

I know your struggles and I feel your pain

You’re doin' everythin' to stop yourself from goin' insane

Tryin' to find the strength to fight your way back

But life keeps swingin' on you 'cause you’re under attack

You prayed and cried about it but still no change has come

My life is livin' proof that you’re not the only one

And that’s why I say, stand up and take your place

Hold your head up high and put a smile upon your face

Let your light shine on the world

Let your light shine

Let your light shine on the world

Let your light shine, let your light shine

When the storm sends it dark clouds

(And put it right over you)

And a step seems like a million miles

(And you don’t know what to do)

You gotta stand and be strong now

(You've got to get up now)

And the morning will come and victory will be yours, yours

Let your light shine on the world

Let your light shine, let your light shine

Let your light shine on the world

Let your light shine, let your light shine

Let your light shine on the world

Let your light shine, let your light shine

Let your light shine on the world

Let your light shine, let your light shine

Let your light shine on the world

Let your light shine, let your light shine

Let your light shine on the world

Let your light shine, let your light shine

Let your light shine on the world

Let your light shine, let your light shine

Let your light shine on the world

(No matter the weather)

Let your light shine, let your light shine

(We gonna shine together)
