This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine (oh)
This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine,
Let it shine, let it shine.
BRIDGE
The light that shines is the light of love,
Lights the darkness from above,
It shines on me and it shines on you,
Shows what the power of love can do,
I'm gonna shine my light both far and near,
I'm gonna shine my light both bright and clear,
Where theres a dark corner in this land,
I'm gonna let my little light shine.
