Let It Shine
James Williams Coco Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

It's been a long road but we're finally here
And the view from the top so beautifully clear
We can see for forever not a cloud in the sky
Picture perfect weather everyday of our lives

Just imagine if everything you wanted came true
Well it happened to me so it can happen to you
We're on a journey of truth and belief is the key
So open up your heart and let your life free

Oh
And I feel like I'm glowing
And I like where I'm going
Tonight, I'm showing up to shine

This little light of mine (OK, OK, OK)
I'm gonna let it shine (Alright, alright, alright)
This little light of mine (OK, OK, OK)
I'm gonna let it shine (Alright, alright, alright)
This little light of mine (OK, alright, OK)
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Front to back we're packing, stomping
Clapping, laughing, singing, dancing
Passion ever lasting
When I'm rapping to the track and
Asking everyone to put your hands up
Stand up
Roxanne come take my hand
And make the congregation rock

Celebrating and it feels so good
If I could thank everybody here I would
I feel like I'm finally free and I
Yeah I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to fly

Yeah, oh
And I feel like I'm glowing
And I like where I'm going
Tonight, I'm showing up to shine

This little light of mine (OK, OK, OK)
I'm gonna let it shine (Alright, alright, alright)
This little light of mine (OK, OK, OK)
I'm gonna let it shine (Alright, alright, alright)
This little light of mine (OK, alright, OK)
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

You know it wants to come out
Don't hide your shine, y'all
Now put your hands to in sky
'Cause your light is your love

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

This little light of mine (This little light of mine)
I'm gonna let it shine (I'm gonna let it shine)
This little light of mine (Yeah)
I'm gonna let it shine (I'm gonna let it shine)
This little light of mine (This little light of mine)
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine




Let it shine, let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, shine

Letra:

Yeah, hmm-mm

You're spinnin' 'round, and 'round, and 'round in my head, head
Did you really mean the words that you said, said?
This is it, I gotta know
Should I stay or should I go? Show me the truth
Is it gonna be me and you?
Is it gonna be me and you?
Is it gonna be me and you?

I know you gon' be mad, feelings that you thought you had
Was for another guy, well, I'm that other guy
I'm just a shy kid, camouflaged before your eyes
And I knew my lyrics were the key to see the other side
I should have told you, but I never had the courage
And I thought you really wouldn’t understand (no)
And now I'm up here just to let my feelings surface
Apologizin' for disguisin' who I am (mm)
Tell me, are you who I thought you were?
Or who I wanted you to be?
Did you do it all for him?
Or were you only playin' me?
I did it for you, but I couldn’t see it through

You're spinnin' 'round, and 'round, and 'round in my head, head
Did you really mean the words that you said, said?
This is it, I gotta know
Should I stay or should I go? Show me the truth
Is it gonna be me and you?
Is it gonna be me and you?
Is it gonna be me and you?

You're all I ever wanted
But I got caught in the shadow in the background
But I'm back now
And Kris was all this and that
And my look didn't really fit the rap, it didn't match
He had the style and I had the swag
So I locked up my feelings in the words he said
Give me a hand and I'll take off my mask
If you give me a chance, that's all I ask
What you expectin' me to do?
First you were him and now you're you
Now it's just me, and you got me on my knees

You're spinnin' 'round, and 'round, and 'round in my head, head
Did you really mean the words that you said, said?
This is it, I gotta know
Should I stay or should I go? Show me the truth
Is it gonna be me and you?
Is it gonna be me and you?

Why do I feel so deceived?
Guess I believed what I wanted to believe
It's perfect in my dreams
But nothing's really what it seems
No, no

You're spinnin' 'round, and 'round, and 'round in my head, head
Did you really mean the words that you said (did you really mean what you said?), said?
This is it, I gotta know
Should I stay or should I go? Show me the truth
Is it gonna be me and you?
Is it gonna be me and you?
Is it gonna be me and you? (gonna be me and you)

Mm-mm, yeah-yeah, gonna be me and you, and you
