Shine Lyrics - Shine - Joni Mitchell

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

Let your little light shine 

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 

Photos 

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 

Let your little light 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 god's name! 

Shine on the pioneers 

Those seekers of mental health 

Craving simplicity 

They traveled inward 

Past themselves... 

May all their little lights shine
