When it's late December, dark and cold Where is the light?
When old man year is bending low Where is the light?
When the sun runs off to bed too soon Where is the light?
And there's nothing but a skinny moon Where is the light?
CHORUS:
Where is the light?
Where is the light?
Where is the light? Oh…
The light's inside of me
When it's dark each morning when I rise Where is the light?
And it's dark when my eggs are fryin' Where is the light?
And it's dark when off to work I go Where is the light?
And it's dark again when I get home Where is the light?
CHORUS:
It's in my skin and in my bones
In my heart and in my soul
That light of life, so bright and golden
Like a summer day
When the sun goes missing in the sky
It is rising in my eyes
Chasing all that winter gloom away
I'm burning bright like kerosene Where is the light?
I'm twinkling like the Pleiades Where is the light?
I'm dancing like a candle flame Where is the light?
I'm flaming like a fruit flambé Where is the light?
CHORUS: (2X)
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, let it shine, let it shine!
