Текст песни: Shed a Little Light + перевод

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 (oh now)

Just a little light, oh Lord (shed a little light, oh Lord)

I want to stand it on up (stand it on up, oh Lord)

Stand it on up, oh Lord (yeah now)

I want to walk it on down (oh shed a little light)

Shed a little light, oh Lord

Can’t get no light from the dollar bill

Don’t give me no light from a TV screen (no, no, no, no)

When I open my eyes

I wanna drink my fill

From the well on the hill (I know ya know what I mean)

Shed a little light, oh Lord (shed a little light, oh Lord)

So that we can see (ah ah yeah)

Just a little light, oh Lord (shed a little light, oh Lord, oh now)

I want to stand it on up (stand it on up)

Stand it on up, oh Lord (yeah now)

I want to walk it on down (oh shed a little light)

Shed a little light, oh Lord

Shed a little light, o 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
