[Intro — Rhodes • Celestial Harp • Solo Flugelhorn • Soft Strings] [Angelic Harmonies] Ooooh... Let it shine... Somebody needs your light... [Lead — softly] Sometimes... You don't know what somebody's carrying. They'll smile. They'll laugh. They'll tell you everything's alright. And maybe... All they're looking for is one little reason to believe tomorrow can still be beautiful. [Verse 1] I passed a stranger the other day Didn't know the road they'd walked Didn't know what lived behind their eyes We barely even talked But something told me slow down awhile Don't hurry on your way Sometimes the smallest kindness becomes the biggest part of somebody's day And it made me wonder... How many little moments have I overlooked? How many hearts just needed somebody to stop long enough to look? [Pre-Chorus] I don't need to move a mountain Don't need to change the sky Maybe all I'm being asked to do today... Is keep one little light alive [Chorus] I could be somebody's light Without ever knowing their darkness Could be somebody's hope Without knowing how hard their road is Maybe one gentle word Maybe one open door Maybe sitting there beside 'em When they don't need advice anymore I don't have to light the whole world tonight Maybe Love ain't asking me to Maybe all I need to be... Is somebody's light Maybe all I need to be... Is somebody's light [Angelic Harmonies] Somebody's light... Let it shine... Let Love shine... [Verse 2] Could be something that I sing Finds a heart I've never seen Travels farther than my footsteps Into places I've never been Could be something that I planted Finally flowers years from now Could be somebody watching quietly Learning what Love looks like somehow That's why I'm getting careful with the things I leave behind My words might become memories in somebody else's mind So if my life is gonna echo... Let kindness be the sound [Pre-Chorus] I don't need everybody watching Don't need my name in lights Sometimes the brightest thing you'll ever do... Happens outside the spotlight [Chorus] I could be somebody's light Without ever knowing their darkness Could be somebody's hope Without knowing how hard their road is Maybe one gentle word Maybe one open door Maybe sitting there beside 'em When they don't need advice anymore I don't have to light the whole world tonight Maybe Love ain't asking me to Maybe all I need to be... Is somebody's light
