When you see your brother stumbling
Walking down life's rocky road
And you reach out your hand
Help him lighten up his love
Cause you got the light
You got the light
Well let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
If you see him down and outer
And life's got him on the ropes
And if you take some time to stop
And give him a little hope
Then you got the light
You got the light
Well let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
If your brother's lost in darkness
And cannot find his way
Shine your light so he can see
And brighten up his day
Cause you got the light
You've got the light
Well let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
When you see evil all around you
That you don't understand
Remember you are holding
The light right in your hand
Got the light
You've got the light
Well you got the light
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Oh, baby that's right
Uh-huh
Might even change the world
It might not take too much
Start with a little mercy
Mercy and gentle touch
Understanding and forgiveness
You gotta let everybody know
That if you're spread all around the world
Then maybe you can save your soul
Yeah let it shine
You've got the light
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
You've got the light
Let it shine
Let it shine
