James Taylor - Shed a little light

Tekst :

Let us turn our thoughts today
To Martin Luther King
And recognize that there are ties between us
All men and women
Living on the Earth
Ties of hope and love
Sister and brotherhood
That we are bound together
In our desire to see the world become
A place in which our children
Can grow free and strong
We are bound together
By the task that stands before us
And the road that lies ahead
We are bound and we are bound

There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
There is a hunger in the center of the chest
There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest

(Chorus)
Shed a little light, oh Lord
So that we can see
Just a little light, oh Lord
Wanna stand it on up
Stand it on up, oh Lord
Wanna walk it on down
Shed a little light, oh Lord

Can t get no light from the dollar bill
Don t give me no light from a TV screen
When I open my eyes
I wanna drink my fill
From the well on the hill

(Do you know what I mean?)
- Chorus -

There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
There is a hunger in the center of the chest
There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest

Oh, Let us turn our thoughts today
To Martin Luther King
And recognize that there are ties between us
All men and women
Living on the Earth
Ties of hope and love
Sister and brotherhood

    Sometimes (I wish)

    If I was a simple man,
    Would we still walk hand in hand?
    And if I suddenly went blind,
    Would you still look in my eyes?
    What happens when I grow old?
    And all my stories have been told?
    Will your heart still race for me?
    Or will it march to a new beat?
    If I was a...

    Only one

    You are my only one
    You are my only one
    Well, I m telling you now, now you re my only one

    Two strong arms to...

    Better without you

    The nights are so long
    This endless sleepless night
    and something in me
    dissolves all that I am

    It s all in my head,
    sometimes i can t forget
    this can t be wrong,
    i need some time,
    i need some...

    Return to forever

    Days... floating round the bend
    Thru the rainbow s end
    Return to forever

    Nights... ring around the moon
    ending all too soon
    Return to forever

    When we reach the Autumn s bend
    Will we wish that we were young again

    He pulls in late to wake her up
    with a kiss goodnight
    If he could only read her mind
    She d say:
