Linda James

Linda James was a good damn woman

She gave everyone her light

She had a taste for the simple things

What it took to make a good life

She said

"Love as much you can

Give your gratitude at night

And be thankful for each and every day

That you get to see the sunrise

Don’t take your time for granted

Don’t you do nothing in spite

Take care of the people

And you won’t need a steeple

To give the world your light"

In the land of a thousand churches

Seems that everyones a saint

But there are few and far between

Like our sister Linda James

She passed her light to her children

Who then passed it on to their own

It's amazing how love just ripples out

And we get to watch it all grow

That's why you gotta

Love as much as you can

Give your gratitude at night

And be thankful for each and every day

That you get to see the sunrise

Don’t take your parents for granted

Don’t you do nothing in spite

Take care of the people

And you won’t need a steeple

To give the world your light

You just give the world your light

'Cause love will teach the fish how to swim

It teaches the birds how to fly

It’ll light up your lantern in the middle of the night

And go with ya for the rest of your life

Some people find it in their preacher

Others find it in their friends

Some find it in a long lost woman

Others find it wind

Thats why you gotta

Love as much as you can

Give your gratitude at night

Be thankful for each and every day

That you get to see the sunrise

Don’t take that love for granted

Don’t you do nothing spite

Take care of the people

And you won’t need a steeple

To give the world your light

Take care of the people

And you won’t need a steeple

To give the world your light

You just give the world your light

Your light

Your light

Your light

Thats why you gotta

Love as much as you can

Give your gratitude at night

Be thankful for each and every day

That you get to see the sunrise

Don’t take that love for granted

Don’t you do nothing spite

Take care of the people

And you won’t need a steeple

To give the world your light

Take care of the people

And you won’t need a steeple

To give the world your light

You just give the world your light

Your light

Your light

Your light
