Let It Shine

(album: Better By Far - 1977)

Went down to the corner, sunshine in my hand
I tried to sell the truth but I couldn't make it stand
Ooh, come on, I cry, cause I'm feeling kinda low
Let it shine, let it shine, let it grow

And when you feel someone closing down on me
I'm going to myself just to see what I can see
And when the stars are right I'll come sailing right on by
Where the sun won't go wrong, long as I...

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road ahead
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road ahead
Cause it's carrying me home again

So when all around you, I'm going down so fast
That you can see on you averted they have passed
Don't let them satisfy the need to tell you so
Let it shine, let it shine, let it show

And when the four winds blow and you're feeling kind of small
Everything's wrong and nothing's right at all
Ooh, you go into yourself and find a way ahead
It's very clear to me you're better off

Instead of feeling lonely, instead of feeling blue
You come on with a smile that comes sailing right on through
Wait till the stars above and the ground way down below
Let it shine, let it shine, let it show

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road ahead
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road ahead
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road...
