CHORUS: Shine your light against the dark |
|
Stand upright and make your mark |
|
Do your best wherever you may be |
|
And shine your light for me ------- |
|
Long ago when |
|
I was just |
|
A boy of tender years |
|
My father told me life's a road |
|
Paved with joy and tears |
|
And as you travel you must choose |
|
Between what's right and wrong |
|
Remember sin is giving in |
|
For Heaven's sake be strong ------- |
|
REPEAT CHO |
|
RUS: ------- |
|
As I grew beyond my teens |
|
The world began to press |
|
My father's words began to fade |
|
Lost to selfishness |
|
And after years of walking down |
|
The wrong side of the track |
|
One night |
|
I cried and deep inside |
|
My father's words came back ------- |
|
REPEAT CHO |
|
RUS: ------- |
|
My father said that kindness is |
|
The light of |
|
God in man |
|
So I was told to shine like gold |
|
On everyone |
|
I can I changed my ways and did my best |
|
To right the wrong |
|
I'd done I settled down and in a year |
|
God blessed us with a son |
|
Now he's barely nine years old |
|
A learner on life's way |
|
He wonders why a day goes by |
|
He doesn't hear me say ------- |
|
REPEAT CHO |
|
RUS: --------- |
|
Do your best wherever you may be |
|
And shine your light |
|
Shine your light |
|
Do your best wherever you may be |
|
And shine your light for me |
