Let It Shine

Yeah, mm

If I told you how I came this far

And all the things that I've been through

Need I tell you that I, been to hell

I've seen it all and done it all

Growing up as a child wasn't easy

Had to work twice as hard, I was busy

Grandma was my inspiration

Every day, there was words for situation and

Shoes no laces, bread no tea

But I kept on coming strong

But that's when I looked to the mirror

And I told myself these words

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

And I say

This little light o' mine

Ooh, yeah

I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Let me tell you how I got this far

And all the pain I had to bear

We used to sleep five to a bed

Three at the top, two at the bottom

Life's so unfair, and that's how it is

Hopeless and useless, that's what they said

Grandma used to tell me, "No room for failure"

Every day a new drama

As I sit back and reminisce on the trauma

We used to have shoes no laces (Hey) bread no tea (Hey, hey)

That was how it used to be (Oh, oh, oh ah)

Story's different now

And I'm a witness to better life

And I'm saying

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

Ooh, mine

This little light of mine

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

I know you don't feel I have a reason to

You're giving up because of what you're going through

It's no better way to explain to you

Than to tell you the world has a place for you

I know you're a star, and you were meant to

Tell all your neighbours and friends too

It won't take long, listen to this song

Spread love to another, you can't go wrong

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

Oh, this little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

All across the world

Little light of mine

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

I'm gonna let it shine

Everywhere I go

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

For the whole wide world to see

This little light of mine

See, they may not understand it

I'm gonna let it shine

Why I have to let it shine

This little light of mine

Say y'all don't know my story

I'm gonna let it shine

Hey

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Everywhere I go I'm gonna let shine

Let it shine, let it shine

Yeah

Let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
