Shine A Light On by The Magic Lantern Lyrics

Have you got a place to sleep?
Are you warm or are you cold?

Have you got enough to eat?
What’s the chance you’ll grow old?

Have you shoes upon your feet?
What does the future hold?

Do you struggle to make ends meet?
Has your soul yet been sold?

It’s not fair, I hope you’ll agree
That half of the whole world
Should live in poverty

It’s not fair, I hope you’ll agree
That after we’ve been fed
The rest should all go hungry

But what’s the purpose of this song
If you don’t all sing along?
Well at least I’ve started here
And though it sounds a bit niave
You’ve gotta’ stand up for what you believe
And do it with out fear

When something’s not right
Shine a light on
When something’s not right
Shine a light on
When something’s not right
Shine a light on
But don’t just believe me
Write your own song

Have you shoes upon your feet?
What does the future hold?

Do you struggle to make ends meet?
Has your soul yet been sold?

It’s not fair, I hope you’ll agree
That half of the whole world
Should live in poverty

It’s not fair, I hope you’ll agree
That after we’ve been fed
The rest should all go hungry
But what’s the purpose of this song
If you don’t all sing along?
Well at least I’ve started here

And though it sounds a bit niave
You’ve gotta’ stand up for what you believe
And do it with out fear

When something’s not right
Shine a light on
When something’s not right
Shine a light on
When something’s not right
Shine a light on
But don’t just believe me
Write your own song
