It must have been a living hell inside your house
You had a deadbolt on your bedroom door
That locked from the inside out
It was something we never talked about
It's mighty strange this life that we all live
So many born into so much pain
cnd so many with such privilege
That divide is getting harder to bridge
That divide is getting harder to bridge
Sometimes it seems so pointless to fight
It seems like nobody really gives a damn anymore
cbout what's wrong or right
Seems like we're slippin' into some dark endless night
Seems like we're slippin' into some dark endless night
But I've got a light
I'm gonna let it shine
Come on over here put you're little hand in mine
cnd if you've got a light
Go on let it shine
Cause You know light wins out over darkness
Every time
Some mornings you may not want to open your eyes
It's so easy to get discouraged and disillusioned
With the lies
Just remember love snd peace still abide
In this land love and peace still abide
Stand up speak your truth and be proud
Fill your lungs up with love and shout it right out loud
Let your light shine through all those dark and stormy clouds
Let your light shine through those dark and stormy clouds
We will not let hate dictate our lives
We will keep our vision
We will keep our sights
Focused on being lovin' and kind
Gonna focus on being
Lovin' and kind
Cause we've got a light
We're gonna let it shine
Come on over here put you're little hand in mine
cnd if you've got a light
Go on let it shine
Cause You know light wins out over darkness
Honey You know light wins out over darkness
Yeah You know light wins out over darkness
Every time
