| 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've got the light) | 
| You got the light (You've got the light) | 
| Well let it shine, let it shine | 
| Let it shine | 
| (You've got the light, you’ve got the light) | 
| 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've got the light) | 
| You got the light (You've got the light) | 
| Well let it shine let it shine | 
| Let it shine | 
| (You've got the light, baby that’s right) | 
| 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) | 
| You’ve got the light (You've got the light) | 
| Well let it shine, let it shine | 
| Let it shine | 
| (You've got the light, baby that’s right) | 
| 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) | 
| You’ve got the light (You've got the light) | 
| Well you got the light, let it shine, let it shine | 
| Let it shine | 
| (You've got the light) | 
| 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 pray your soul | 
| Yeah let it shine (You've got the light) | 
| You’ve got the light (You've got the light) | 
| Let it shine, let it shine | 
| Let it shine | 
| (You've got the light) | 
| Let it shine, let it shine | 
| Let it shine | 
| (Baby that’s right) | 
| You’ve got the light, let it shine, let it shine | 
| (You've got the light) |
