James Taylor - Shed A Little Light lyrics

Album: New Moon Shine (1991)

Singers in ( )

Let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King
And recognize that there are ties between us
All men & women, living on the earth
Ties of hope & love, sister & brotherhood
That we´re bound together
With a desire to see the world become
A place in which our children can grow free & strong
We´re bound together by the task that stands before us
And the road that lies ahead, we´re bound
... & we´re bound

There´s a feeling like the clenching of the fist
There´s a hunger in the center of the chest
There´s a passage through the darkness & the mist
Though the body sleeps the heart will never rest

(Shed a little light ohh lord) Shed a little light oh lord
(So that we can see) Ohh now
(Just a little light ohh lord) Just a little light oh lord
(Going to stand it on up) Stand it on up
(Stand it up ohh Lord) Get down
(Going to walk it on down) Going to shed a little
(Shed a little light ohh lord)

(Can´t get no light from another day)
(Don´t give no light from the TV screen) No No No No
(When I open my eyes, I wanna drink my fill)
(From the well on the hill)
Then you know where I will be

(Shed a little light ohh lord) Shed a little light oh lord
(So that we can see) Ahh yes
(Just a little light ohh lord) Just a little light oh lord
(We are going to stand it on up) Stand it on up
(Stand it up ohh Lord, Stand it up ohh lord)
(Going to walk it on down) Going to shed a little
(Shed a little light ohh lord)

There´s a feeling like the clenching of the fist
There´s a hunger in the center of the chest
There´s a passage through the darkness & the mist
Though the body sleeps the heart will never rest

Let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King
And recognize that there are ties between us
All men & women, living on the earth
Ties of hope & love, sister & brotherhood
That we´re bound together
With a desire to see the world become
A place in which our children can grow free & strong
