There's a little flame inside us all
Some shine bright, some shine small
The rains will come and the waters rise

But don't you ever lose your light
In this life you will know
Love and pain, joy and sorrow

So when it hurts, when times get hard
Don't forget whose child you are


Chorus:
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine, gonna let it shine


May you live each day with no regret
Make the most of every chance you get
Let your eyes get wide when you look at the stars

With the same sense of wonder as a child's heart
With the ones you love treasure the time
And for those who are gone keep their memories alive

Hold on to your dreams don't ever let go
There's a fire inside you burning with hope


Chorus:
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine, gonna let it shine


There will be days when you want to give up
When the clouds settle in
But after the rain comes the sun

Don't you ever forget

One day there will be no more pain

And we will finally see Jesus' face
So until then I'm gonna try
To brave the dark and let my little light shine


Chorus:
This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine, gonna let it shine


There's a little light inside us all
