Yeah eh hmm hmm hmm

If I told you how I came this far
And all the things that I’ve been through
Need I tell you that I been to hell
I’ve seen it all and done it all
Growing up as a child wasn’t easy
Had to work twice as hard I was busy
Grandma was my inspiration everyday there was words for situation
Shoes no laces bread no tea but I kept on coming strong
But that’s when I looked to the mirror
And I told myself these words that

This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine (And I say)
This little light of mine (Uh yeah)
I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine

Let me tell you how I got this far
And all the pain I had to bear
We used to sleep five to a bed three at the top two at the bottom
Large sofa that’s how it is
Hopeless and useless that’s what they said
Grandma used to tell me no room for failure
Every day a new drama
As I sit back and reminisce on the trauma
We used to have shoes no laces bread no tea
That was how it used to be
Story’s different now and I’m a witness to a better life and I am saying

This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine (Uh uh uh uh o mine)
This little light of mine (This little light of mine)
I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine

I know you don’t feel you have a reason to (Shine)
You’re giving up because of what you’re going through (Shine)
There’s no better way to explain to you
Than to tell you the world has a place for you (Shine)
I know you’re a star and you were meant to (Shine)
Tell all your neighbors and friends too (Shine)
It won’t take long listen to this song
Spread love to another you can’t go wrong

This little light of mine (Say)
I’m gonna let it shine
Oh this little light of mine (Oh oh oh mine)
I’m gonna let it shine (Say am gonna let it)
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine (Little light of mine)

this little light of mine (I’m gonna let it shine)
I’m gonna let it shine (Everywhere I go)
This little light of mine (Oh oh oh mine)
I’m gonna let it shine (Let it shine)
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine (For the whole world to see eh)

This little light of mine (Said I may not understand)
I’m gonna let it shine (But I have to let it shine)
This little light of mine (Said you don’t know my story)
I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine (Everywhere I go I’m gonna let shine)
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine (Yeah)
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
