From the recording Livin' It Up: Songs from the Write Across America Project
Lyrics
I heard you say it like you needed to say something
Then take me down like you needed to be someone
All of your chest, thumping
Ain’t gonna bring me around
Well you can say what you say
Play it how you play
Everybody's gotta make their own way
But what ya doing in mine
Hey, what ya doing in my way
Let your light shine, let your light shine
Let your own damn motherfucking light shine
Well, turn your lights on
Let your light shine
It won’t get brighter by burning out mine
Won't get brighter by burning out mine
You turn around like you been all messed up
Everybody thinks you got your head stuck
Mmmm we had enough
Of your messing around
You can say what you say
Play it how you play
Everybody's gotta make their own way
Well what you doing in mine
Hey what ya doing in my way
Hey well let your light shine, let your light shine
Let your own damn motherfucking light shine
Well, turn your lights on
Let your light shine
It won’t get brighter by burning out mine
I hear you say it as you're turning away
I hear you say it
But what did you say
I heard you say it like you needed to say something
Then take me down like you needed to be someone
All of your chest thumping
Ain’t gonna bring me around
Well you can say what you say
Play it how you play
Everybody's gotta make their own way
But what ya doing in mine
Oh, what ya doing in my way
Oh well let your light shine, let your light shine
Let your own damn motherfucking light shine
Turn your lights on
And let your light shine
It won’t get it brighter by burning out mine
Let your light shine, let your light shine
Let your own damn motherfucking light shine
Turn your lights on
And let your light shine
It won’t get it brighter by burning out mine
Let your light shine, let your light shine
Let your own damn motherfucking light shine
Turn your lights on
And let your light shine
It won’t get it brighter by burning out mine
Let your light shine
