Place your bets
A
Shine on all the fishermen

With nothing in their nets

Shine on rising oceans and evaporating seas

Shine on our Frankenstein technologies

With its tunnel vision, tunnel vision

Buried under subdivisions

Oh, let your little light shine

Oh, let your little light shine
Bm
Shine on the dazzling darkness
Em
That restores us in deep sleep
A
Shine on what we throw away
A
And what we keep
G
Shine on Reverend Pearson
Em
Who threw away
Em
The vain old God
A
And kept Dickens and Rembrandt and Beethoven
D
And fresh plowed sod
G
Shine on good earth, good air, good water
Em
And a safe place
Em
For kids to play
A
Shine on bombs exploding
A
Half a mile away

Oh, let your little light shine

Let your little light shine, shine, shine

Shine on worldwide traffic jams
G                         Em
Honking day and night
A
Shine on another asshole
A
Passing on the right
G
Shine on all the red light runners
Em
Busy talking on their cell phones
A
Shine on the Catholic Church
D
And the prisons that it owns
G
Shine on all the Churches
Em
They all love less and less
A
Shine on a hopeful girl
A
In a dreamy dress
D        G         A
Oh, let your little light shine

Shine, shine, shine

Let your little light shine

Shine on good humor
Em            C
Shine on good will
A
Shine on lousy leadership
A
Licensed to kill
G
Shine on dying soldiers
Em
In patriotic pain
A
Shine on mass destruction
D
In some God's name
G
Shine on the pioneers
Em                  A
Those seekers of mental health
A
Craving simplicity
A
They traveled inward
D
Past themselves
D
Let their little lights shine
E          D
May all their little lights shine
