Lyrics for Shed A Little Light by James Taylor:
| | | Artist: | James Taylor |
| | Album: | James Taylor Live (Disc 1 | | Track: | Shed A Little Light | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 85 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
