Chorus - "This Little Light of Mine" Harry Dixon Loes -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mankind generates the utmost malevolent deeds Sustaining corruption and ignoring those in need Beholding a mirror, peering at the countenance Dereliction of the conscious is an annoyance As the darkness envelops callusing hearts and eyes Even when I’m afraid, I’m gonna let it shine, Even when I’m afraid, I’m gonna let it shine, Even when I’m afraid, I’m gonna let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. Anchoring in the abyss, the soul harbors the lies Encompass, the globe has needless suffering affairs Ego-centrist administer by promoting fears There are continental fractures and accretive walls And the preservation for evil: disputes and brawls Even when I’m afraid, I’m gonna let it shine, Even when I’m afraid, I’m gonna let it shine, Even when I’m afraid, I’m gonna let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. Turmoil weeping floods befalling for their lost loved dears Infinitude canyon murals eroded though tears Cradling the bodies of sands before they disappear elixir to cure this palindormia fever? Palimpsest bitterness with seeds of pure forgiveness Family; fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers Foreverness, us, the sun’s arc, are rare tones and colors Even when I’m afraid, I’m gonna let it shine, Even when I’m afraid, I’m gonna let it shine, Even when I’m afraid, I’m gonna let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. All through the night, I'm gonna let it shine, All through the night, I'm gonna let it shine, All through the night, I'm gonna let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. Everywhere I go, I'm gonna let it shine, Everywhere I go, I'm gonna let it shine, Everywhere I go, I'm gonna let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
