You Can't Be a Beacon

You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine There's a little light in all of us by God's design You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine How can you ask for truth when you do not truthful live How can you ask forgiveness when you don't forgive I don't mean to bring you down or speak to you unkind But you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine There's a little light in all of us by God's design You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine How can you ask a child to be honest and true When he can only tell what's right by what he sees in you How can you offer vision and walk around blind No, you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine There's a little light in all of us by God's design You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine There's a little light in all of us by God's design You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine No, you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine
