A Little Light

[Verse 1: Elton John]

Hello, darling

Ain't it a cold grey day?

Maybe it's time I hung my boots up

On the nail and walk away

What do you say we kill good morning

Like the liar that it is?

Let the imposters jump for glory

Let's just not and say we did

[Verse 2: Brandi Carlile]

Alright, sunshine

With the papers on your plate

I see the sorrow in the headlines

And the worry on your face

I guess it's no fun to have a heart

While we are living through these days

But there's still a lot of beauty

Dancing circles 'round this place

[Chorus: Elton John & Brandi Carlile]

That's why we're gonna get up (Get up)

Point our chin towards the sun

Say a little prayer and count our blessings one by one

Don't hide yourself away

Don't grow hard from what you've heard

You gotta break your heart wide open

Let a little light into the world

Into the world

[Verse 3: Brandi Carlile, Elton John & Brandi Carlile]

It's such a fine line

Between faith and apathy

Pain can put you on your feet

Or bring you to your knees

If you're locked inside the end of days

And darkness pulls your mind

Bend the bars and hold the fire

Let every corner shine

[Chorus: Elton John & Brandi Carlile]

That's why we're gonna get up (Get up)

Point our chin towards the sun

Say a little prayer and count our blessings one by one

Don't hide yourself away

Don't grow hard from what you've heard

You gotta break your heart wide open

Let a little light into the world

Into the world

[Bridge: Elton John & Brandi Carlile]

What else can we do?

What do these years mean

If we haven't got the answers anyway?

Do we see it to believe it

Or believe it to be seen?

Oh, ain't it a fight?

Let there be light

[Outro: Elton John, Elton John & Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile]

Let a little light

Let a little light into the world

Let your light

Let a little light into the world

And sing into the darkness like a Sunday morning bird

Break your heart wide open

Let a little light into the world

Into the world

Into the world

Ooh, ooh

Ooh
