Shed A Little Light

Shed A Little Light 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 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 Want to stand it on up Stand it on up, oh Lord Want to walk it on down Shed a little light, oh Lord Can't get no light from the dollar bill Don't give me no light from a TV screen When I open my eyes I want to drink my fill From the well on the hill Do you know what I mean? Shed a little light, oh Lord So that we can see Just a little light, oh Lord Want to stand it on up Stand it on up, oh Lord Want to 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 of Sister and brotherhood
