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
