Testo This Little Light - Mavis Staples
Testo della canzone This Little Light (Mavis Staples), tratta dall'album We'll Never Turn Back
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
All in my home
I'm gonna let it shine
All in my room
I'm gonna let it shine, shine now
The road was ruff (through the dark)
The way was long
I kept on singing that freedom song
My god promised me a rainbow sign
Just gotta let my little light shine
Don't give up
Don't back down
Don't let the liar turn you around
My heart's fixed
Way up in mind
I'm going out and let my little light shine
Sure gonna let my little light shine
All in the streets
I'm gonna let it shine
All in the battlefield
I'm gonna let it shine
See now I ain't gonna fighting no rich man's war
That ain't what God wanted to use me for
Killing folks it ain't in my line
Sure ain't no way to let my little light shine
Shine on me
Shine on me
Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me
You can't fool all the people all the time
Get together let our little light shine
(Oh, yes) let it shine
(Oh, yes) let it shine
(Oh, yes) let it shine
(Oh, yes) let it shine
This little light of mine (oh, yes)
I'm gonna let it shine (oh, yes)
This little light of mine (oh, yes)
I'm gonna let it shine (oh, yes)
When it's cold (oh, yes) let it shine (oh, yes)
When the liar calls (oh, yes) let it shine (oh, yes)
In my home (oh, yes) let it shine (oh, yes)
In my room y'all (oh, yes) let it shine (oh, yes)
When hatred calls (oh, yes) let it shine (oh, yes)
When it shines (oh, yes) freedom shines (oh, yes)
When it shines (oh, yes) no more sorrow (oh, yes)
When it shine (oh, yes) no more pain (oh, yes)
When it shine (oh, yes) oh lord (oh, yes)
When it shine (oh, yes) wait out there (oh, yes)
When it shine (oh, yes)
The fire (oh, yes) feels like fire (oh, yes) in my bones
