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...
