Shed A Little Light
Shed A Little Light - James
Taylor
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
(chorus)
Shed
a little light, oh lord
So that we can
see
Just a little light, oh
lord
Wanna stand it on
up
Stand it on up, oh
lord
Wanna 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 wanna drink my
fill
From the well on the
hill
(do you know what I mean?
)
- chorus
-
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
Sister and
brotherhood
