Timi Dakolo - Let It Shine Lyrics

Yeah eh hmm hmm hmm

If I told you how I came this far and all the things that I’ve been through
Need I tell you that I been to hell I’ve seen it all and done it all
Growing up as a child wasn’t easy had to work twice as hard I was busy
Grandma was my inspiration everyday there was words for situation
Shoes no laces bread no tea but I kept on coming strong
But that’s when I looked to the mirror and I told myself these words that

This little light of mine I’m gonna let it shine
And I say this little light of mine uh yeah I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine let it shine let it shine

Let me tell you how I got this far and all the pain I had to bear
We used to sleep five to a bed three at the top two at the bottom large sofa that’s how it is
Hopeless and useless that’s what they said
Grandma used to tell me no room for failure
Every day a new drama as I sit back and reminisce on the trauma
We used to have shoes no laces bread no tea that was how it used to be
Story’s different now and I’m a witness to a better life and I am saying

This little light of mine I’m gonna let it shine uh uh uh uh o mine
This little light this little light of mine I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine let it shine let it shine

I know you don’t feel you have a reason to shine
You’re giving up because of what you’re going through shine
There’s no better way to explain to you than to tell you the world has a place for you shine

I know you’re a star and you were meant to shine
Tell all your neighbors and friends too shine ine
It won’t take long listen to this song spread love to another you can’t go wrong

This little light of mine say I’m gonna let it shine
Oh this little light of mine oh oh oh mine I’m gonna let it shine say am gonna let it shine
Let it shine let it shine let it shine

Little light of mine this little light of mine I’m gonna let it shine I’m gonna let it shine everywhere I go
This little light of mine oh oh oh mine I’m gonna let it shine let it shine
Let it shine let it shine let it shine let it shine for the whole world to see eh

This little light of mine said I may not understand I’m gonna let it shine but I have to let it shine
This little light of mine said you don’t know my story I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine let it shine let it shine
Everywhere I go I’m gonna let shine let it shine let it shine let it shine yeah
Let it shine let it shine let it shine
