Lyrics
If you see me walking by and I look a little sad. You could stop me if you want, a simple "hello" may change my frown. So many people in this world, deal with things nobody knows. You could give someone a smile, just that might brighten up their life. A little more oil in my lamp keep it burning. A little more oil in my lamp, I pray. A little more oil in my lamp, keep it burning. Keep it burning 'til the break of day. Don't wanna give up on this earth. Don't wanna keep on with this hurt. Where's the love people proclaim. You have to give love from within. No need to wait for the next person. Get up and you must pass it on. What is that shining oh so bright? Yeah you could be that very light.
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. Let it shine, shine, shine, let it shine. Baby, baby, baby, baby. Why you, why you, why you so sad man. I don't want to see you like this man. I gonna have to do something about it. I'm gonna have to let my whole light shine. No more hiding it under a bushel. People need to see that you are so special. No hesitating when they start asking you questions.
