Let It Shine - Timi Dakolo

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

Everyday there was words for situation.

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 o' mine

I’m gonna let it shine

And I say

This little light o' mine

Oh 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,

3 at the top, 2 at the bottom

Life’s so unfair

That’s how it is

Hopeless and useless

That’s what they said

Grandma used to tell me;

No room for failure

Everyday a new drama

As I sit back and reminisce on the trauma

We used to have

Shoes no laces

Bread no tea

That was how it used to be

Story’s different now

And I’m a witness to a better life

And I am saying

This little light o' mine

I’m gonna let it shine

Oooo mine

This little light o' mine

I’m gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

I know you don’t feel you have a reason to

Shine

You’re giving up because of what you’re going through

Shine

There’s no better way to explain to you

Than to tell you the world has a place for you

Shine lyrics from

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 o' mine

I’m gonna let it shine

O this little light o' mine

Oooo mine I

I’m gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Across the world, little light of mine

This little light o' mine

I’m gonna let it shine

Everywhere I go

This little light o' mine

I’m gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

For the whole world, world to see.

This little light o' mine (They mightn’t understand it)

I’m gonna let it shine (Why I have to let it shine)

This little light o' mine (Say y’all don’t know my story)

I’m gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Hey

Everywhere I go o o o

I’m gonna let shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
