It's hard to find a man today with a good word for his neighbor

Except the one he's a talkin' to at the time

Should you find a man of God who'll have to talk to many

And there'll be those who'll doubt the one you find

Why don't you turn on your light and let it shine turn on your light and let it shine

Be a beacon someone's darkest night turn on your light and let it shine



Don't look without seein' or touch without feelin'

Take time to smell the flowers along the way

Behind the darkest stormy cloud the sun is always shinin'

So share a smile with someone every day

Why don't you turn on your light...

When you see someone in trouble and there's no one they can turn to

Reach out the warm and friendly hand your touch of friendliness

Just may give the strenght that's needed

You could be the straw that saves the drawnin' man

Why don't you turn on your light...

If you'll just turn on your light...
