you can't be a beacon (if your light don't shine)

you can't be a beacon

if your light don't shine

you can't be a beacon

if your light don't shine

there's a little light

in all of us by god's design

but you can't be a beacon

if your light don't shine

how can you ask for truth

when you do not truthful live

how can you ask forgiveness

when you don't forgive

i don't mean to bring you down

or speak to you unkind

but you can't be a beacon

if your light don't shine

you can't be a beacon

if your light don't shine

you can't be a beacon

if your light don't shine

there's a little light

in all of us by god's design

but you can't be a beacon

if your light don't shine

how can you ask a child

to be honest and true

when he can only judge what's right

by what he sees in you

how can you offer vision

yet walk around blind

no

you can't see a beacon

if it's light don't shine

you can't be a beacon

if your light don't shine

you can't be a beacon

if your light don't shine

there's a little light

in all of us by god's design

but you can't be a beacon

if your light don't shine

may god's love surround you

may you find a brighter day

may he grant you the peace

you seek in every way

god's light burns

in each life

yours and mine

and you can be a beacon

if you just let it shine

you can be a beacon

if you let it shine

you can be a beacon

if you let it shine

there's a little light in

all of us by god's design

you can be a beacon

if you let it shine

you can be a beacon

if you let it shine

you can be a beacon

if you let it shine

there's a little light in

all of us by god's design

you can be a beacon

if you let it shine

you can be a beacon

if you let it shine

you can be a beacon

if you let it shine

there's a little light in

all of us by god's design

you can be a beacon

if you let it shine
