Shed a Little Light - Lyrics - James Taylor

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 With a 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 then we are bound There is a feeling like the clenching of the fist There is a hunger in the center of the chest There is a passage through the darkness and the mist Though the body sleeps the heart will never rest (Shed a little light ohh lord) Shed a little light oh lord (So that we can see) Ohh now (Just a little light ohh lord) Just a little light oh lord (Gonna stand it on up) Stand it on up (Stand it up ohh Lord) Get down (Gonna walk it on down) Gonna shed a little (Shed a little light ohh lord) (Can't get no light from a dollar bill) (Don't give no light from the TV screen) No No No No (When I open my eyes, I want to drink my fill) (From the well on the hill) Then you know where I'll be (Shed a little light ohh lord) Shed a little light oh lord (So that we can see) Ahh yes (Just a little light ohh lord) Just a little light oh lord (We're gonna stand it on up) Stand it on up (Stand it up ohh Lord, Stand it up ohh lord) (Gonna walk it on down) Gonna shed a little (Shed a little light ohh lord) There is a feeling like the clenching of the fist There is a hunger in the center of the chest There is a passage through the darkness and the mist 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 That we are bound together With a 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 ties before us And the road that lies ahead, we are bound and we are bound
