Shine on you little, dismal light Shine on, Shine on, Shine on Your light is but a speck in a sheet A dot in a yellowed text book So many like you So little time To become what we want Noticeable Your light must shine Outshine the rest It must shine like the sun, little light The sun is beautiful, the brightest light of all It is the life-giver and day-bringer Give life, Bring day Don't spark in the night The dark does not foster The shining light you will give And you will give Little Light

Shine on, little light There are so many just like you The sheet you stain is stained by many The blanket of the sky Shine as bright as you can Before the sun bleaches you out You must shine and touch a soul Fill a heart with your little light Shine, Shine, Shine!

Glow on me, little light Glow a dense, fuzzy ivory Bring your warm white to the heart of my grey A jungle of dampness Clean clay muddied and wet To fade away into a drear Eroded into black Glow so the white revives And purity cleanses the walkways The haze is hard to break through But you can do it Little Light

Shine and Glow Glow and Shine Whine and Row Bow Divine Swine and Sow Go drink Wine Fine hand Sew Grow a vine Grind and blow *** and Mine Mine is low So is Nine So Shine on, Oh Shine Shine Shine Shine on So The world can't lie

Little, little light So harsh on so little You are beautiful Beautifully insignificant I write to you in prayer Little Light Bring peace and tranquil Tranquilize the blackness in my heart Touch my soul in the way only a little light may So small So pure With a divine life I can never understand A force so powerful it can be seen so far away Stain my sky Bleach my night Do not leave me be There are so many like you, but it takes many little lights To make something special You are a speck on my safety blanket When I despair I look to you And suddenly
I'm okay
So shine on, little light Shine on, Shine on, Shine on
