text: Oh, let your little light shine
  Let your little light shine
  Shine on Vegas and Wall Street
  Place your bets
  Shine on the fishermen
  With nothing in their nets
  Shine on rising oceans and evaporating seas
  Shine on our Frankenstein technologies
  Shine on science
  With its tunnel vision
  Shine on fertile farmland
  Buried under subdivisions
  Oh, let your little light shine
  Oh, let your little light shine
  Shine on the dazzling darkness
  That restores us in deep sleep
  Shine on what we throw away
  And what we keep
  Shine on Reverend Pearson
  Who threw away
  The vain old God
  Kept Dickens and Rembrandt and Beethoven
  And fresh plowed sod
  Shine on good earth, good air, good water
  And a safe place
  For kids to play
  Shine on bombs exploding
  Half a mile away
  Oh, let your little light shine
  Let your little light shine
  Shine on world-wide traffic jams
  Honking day and night
  Shine on another asshole
  Passing on the right!
  Shine on the red light runners
  Busy talking on their cell phones
  Shine on the Catholic Church
  And the prisons that it owns
  Shine on all the Churches
  They all love less and less
  Shine on a hopeful girl
  In a dreamy dress
  Oh, let your little light shine
  Shine, shine, shine
  Let your little light shine
  Shine on good humor
  Shine on good will
  Shine on lousy leadership
  Licensed to kill
  Shine on dying soldiers
  In patriotic pain
  Shine on mass destruction
  In some gods name!
  Shine on the pioneers
  Those seekers of mental health
  Craving simplicity
  They traveled inward
  Past themselves
  May all their little lights shine
  May all their little lights shine
