Well, I ain´t no dancer
I can get on my feet
Every road I follow down
Is a dead-end street

Sometimes I find a little light
But it seems out of reach
Just enough to show me the way

When the light don´t come in the morning
And the shadows don´t fade in the dawn
Won´t you shine, shine, yeah, a little light, Lord
On the darkness at my door?

Well, the storm clouds gather
And the rain falls down
These shadows overhead
Follow me around
Sometimes I find a little light
On the edge of this town
Just enough to show me the way

When the light don´t come in the morning
And the shadows don´t fade in the dawn
Won´t you shine, shine, yeah, a little light, Lord
On the darkness at my door?

Like the tide keeps rollin´
Pushin´ back on the shore
This weight I´m carryin´
Puts me back on the floor
Sometimes it doesn´t seem right
And a man can want more
Shine a little light on my door

When the light don´t come in the morning
And the shadows don´t fade in the dawn
Won´t you shine, shine, yeah, a little light, Lord

On the darkness at my door?

When the light don´t come in the morning
And the shadows don´t fade in the dawn
Won´t you shine, shine, yeah, a little light, Lord
On the darkness at my door?

The shadows don´t fade in the dawn
Shine, shine down
A little light, Lord
The darkness at my door
