Well, I ain't no dancer
I can get on my feet
Every road I follow down
Is a dead-end street
Sometimes I find a little light
But it seems out of reach
Just enough to show me the way

When the light don't come in the morning
And the shadows don't fade in the dawn
Won't you shine, shine, yeah
A little light, Lord
On the darkness at my door?

Well, the storm clouds gather
And the rain falls down
These shadows overhead
Follow me around
Sometimes I find a little light
On the edge of this town
Just enough to show mе the way

When the light don't comе in the morning
And the shadows don't fade in the dawn
Won't you shine, shine, yeah
A little light, Lord
On the darkness at my door?

Like the tide keeps rollin'
Pushin' back on the shore
This weight I'm carryin'
Puts me back on the floor
Sometimes it doesn't seem right
And a man can want more
Shine a little light on my door

When the light don't come in the morning
And the shadows don't fade in the dawn
Won't you shine, shine, yeah
A little light, Lord
On the darkness at my door?

When the light don't come in the morning
And the shadows don't fade in the dawn
Won't you shine, shine, yeah
A little light, Lord
On the darkness at my door?

The shadows don't fade in the dawn
Shine, shine down
A little light, Lord
The darkness at my door
