From the recording Our Turn Now
Bring on the gumbo! A funky, upbeat New Orleans rendition of the classic song of freedom, hope, and justice. With Moksha Sommer and Jemal Hines on harmonies, killer solos by Len Seligman (guitar) and John Lee Sanders (piano) and outrageous funkiness by Jon Seligman (drums) and JP Coley (bass). Traditional song, arranged by Len Seligman.
Lyrics
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine (3x)
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
Everywhere I go, I'm gonna let it shine…
Some say it’s dark, I can’t see
But love lights up the world for me
Some say turn around and hide
But we got the power to change the tide
Life is not some sad, old story
I believe we’re bound for glory
The fire of love is yours and mine
So let your little light shine!
This little light of mine…
Solos
Even in the darkness…
This little light of mine…
