Shed a Little Light (Album Version) - James Taylor (詹姆斯·泰勒)

Written By：J. Taylor

Let us turn our thoughts today

To Martin Luther King

And recognize that there are ties between us

All men and women

Living on the earth

Ties of hope and love

Sister and brotherhood

That we are bound together

In our desire to see the world become

A place in which our children

Can grow free and strong

We are bound together

By the task that stands before us

And the road that lies ahead

We are bound and we are bound

There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist

There is a hunger in the center of the chest

There is a passage through the darkness and the mist

And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest

Shed a little light oh lord

Shed a little light oh lord

So that we can see

Just a little light oh lord

Just a little light oh lord

Wanna stand it on up

Stand it on up oh lord

Stand it on up oh lord

Stand it on up oh lord

Wanna walk it on down

Shed a little light oh lord

Can't get no light from the dollar bill

Can't get no light from the dollar bill

Don't give me no light from a tv screen

When I open my eyes

I wanna drink my fill

From the well on the hill

Do you know what I mean

Shed a little light oh lord

So that we can see

Just a little light oh lord

Wanna stand it on up

Stand it on up oh lord

Stand it on up oh lord

Stand it on up oh lord

Wanna walk it on down

Shed a little light oh lord

Shed a little light oh lord

There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist

There is a hunger in the center of the chest

There is a passage through the darkness and the mist

And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest

Oh let us turn our thoughts today

To Martin Luther King

And recognize that there are ties between us

All men and women

Living on the earth

Ties of hope and love

Sister and brotherhood
