Lyrics
Let your light shine, for one another
Let your light shine, my sister and brother
Let your light shine, for all to see
And let us come together as one community
There's a child who's hungry tonight
So lonely and so cold
There's a man whose only wish
Was to see his children grow
Someone could lend a helping hand
Could that someone be you
Everywhere the darkness waits
For a light to come shining through
Let your light shine, for one another
Let your light shine, my sister and brother
Let your light shine, for all to see
And let us build a world in peace and harmony
There's a boy who needs a friend
To help him find his way
There's a girl with a baby child
Who struggles each and every day
Someone could lend a helping hand
Could that someone be you
Everywhere the darkness waits
For a light to come shining through
Let your light shine, for one another
Let your light shine, my sister and brother
Let your light shine, for all to see
And let us build a world in peace and harmony
