THEY BOXED YOU IN, PUSHED YOU DOWN, THEY SPOKE IN YOUR FACE WITH WHISPERS, AND BEHIND YOUR BACK, THEY THOUGHT OUT LOUD, THEY DIMMED YOUR LIGHT, AND WET YOUR FIRE, THEY CRITICIZED YOUR POWER, THEY TOOK YOUR ENERGY, TO BURN YOU OUT - LITTLE LIGHT. SHINE ON LITTLE LIGHT, SHINE ON. THEY TRIED TO MAKE YOU BLOW A FUSE, YOU DID NOT KNOW THEIR PLANS FOR YOU. THEY WANTED TO CRACK YOUR DELICATE SHELL, BUT YOU WERE TOO HIGH, THEY COULD NOT REACH, YOU WERE ABOVE THEIR EVIL AIMS, THEY LEFT YOU IN SUSPENSE DAY AND NIGHT, THEIR SEATS NEVER FAR FROM THE SWITCH, IN CASE YOU GOT TOO BRIGHT, BUT WHEN YOU DID JUST AS THEY ASKED, AND USED LESS OF YOUR INCREDIBLE POWER, THEY ARGUED THEY COULD NOT SEE THROUGH THE DARKNESS, AND THREATENED TO REPLACE YOU WITH ANOTHER.

BUT STILL YOU SHONE ON - LITTLE LIGHT, YOU SHONE ON THROUGH THE DARKEST HOURS.

SHINE ON LITTLE LIGHT.
LITTLE LIGHT SHINE ON.

YOU SHONE JUST AS BRIGHT AS THE SUN, PROVIDING ENOUGH WARMTH- FOR EV-ER-Y-ONE.

LITTLE LIGHT - THEY COULD NOT BEAR, TO BE IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR SIGHT.

THEY WANTED TO USE ALL OF YOUR GOODNESS. ******* IT UP LIKE A PREGNANT MOSQUITO. YOU REMAINED SO STRONG - EVEN WHEN YOU WERE SO WEAK. BUT OF YOURSELF YOU DO NOT SPEAK - KNOWLEDGE AND HAPPINESS, IS ALL YOU DARE SEEK.

LITTLE LIGHT YOU WILL REMAIN BRIGHT, LONG AFTER THEY HAVE HAD THEIR FEED. YOU WILL INCREASE EVERY SINGLE POSITIVE THING, SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN FREED.

I KNOW YOU WILL SHINE ON - LONG AFTER EVERY STAR.
LITTLE LIGHT YOU WILL SHINE ON FOREVER. ER. ER
FOREVER.ER.ER
