This little light of mine
I choose to let it shine
This crooked line of truth
Feeds my grateful youth.

To each day, there is a beginning
To each day there is an end
To each day we are forgiving
To each day we make amends

This little light of mine
It outlasts the brine
This little sign of hope
Allows me a righteous scope

To each day there is a beginning
To each day there is an end
To each day we are forgiving
To each day we make amends

Time can only tell
How long these days will last
But this little light of mine
I hold onto fast.

The light of a new day.
