This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine.
The words I sang, stuck in my mind,
Held a truth that kept me whole
When in my desert of the soul.
They led my steps when I was blind,
Through rivers I would have to wade,
Valleys of bone left out to fade.
But every time my end was nigh,
These words resound through space and time.
This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine.
When, through no fault to call my own,
My innocence tore asunder
And darkened waves upon me thundered,
My soul held true to this alone:
This light I hold could never die.
Although the shadowfiends may try
To turn this heart of gold to stone,
And light, in vain, strive to dethrone.
This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine.
So though the darkness, creeping slowly,
Threatening to swallow whole
The twinkling fire of my soul,
I'll sing the words, so sweet and holy,
And right before my very eyes
The Shade will be consumed by Light.
And springs of water, flowing gently,
Will soothe and heal this soul so thirsty.
Let it shine,
All the time,
Let it shine.
Oh, yeah
As always, take care of yourselves and each other, and stay thoughtful!
Your friendly neighborhood dork,
