[Verse 1] I polish up my morning face I open up the shade I set my hands to honest work And take what comes my way I do my best to let it glow Past the cracks and through the air But there's a room I keep locked tight Down the darkened hall [Pre-Chorus] They say the sun can find it They say the truth will set me free But truth can be a hammer When it's swinging back at me [Chorus] Let my light shine out Let my light shine out But I can't leave the dark alone Can't leave it all out there Let my light shine out Let my light shine out If I open up that door tonight Will I still be standing there? [Verse 2] There's a box beneath an old worn quilt A place I don't call home A winter coat, a broken watch And words I've overgrown The memory lives with boots on At the table in my head It takes the chair, it takes the room It leaves me cold instead [Pre-Chorus] They say to bring it up here To the mercy of the day But I've seen how sharp the sunlight is On things I hid away [Chorus] Let my light shine out Let my light shine out But I can't leave the dark alone Can't leave it all out there Let my light shine out Let my light shine out If I open up that door tonight Will I still be standing there? [Bridge] Maybe healing takes its time Maybe healing takes much more Maybe I can lift the latch Without inviting all the pain If I hold the lamp steady And I do not look away Maybe little by little I can learn to stay [Chorus] Let my light shine out Let my light shine out But I can't leave the dark alone Can't leave it all out there Let my light shine out Let my light shine out If I open up that door tonight Will I still be standing there? [Outro] I do my best to let it glow I do my best, I try One hand on my wounded heart One hand toward the sky Let my light shine out Let my light shine out
