Light Of Mine Lyrics

My present state kept invitin' my past

Cuz I seen that 40 proof sittin right in my path

I was drinking on the go I've spent my life with a flask

It reminds me of Dad now I'm just writin my wrath

I write when I'm sad, remember times when we laughed

Kept rewinding it back of all the times that we had

And that time that I cracked when you died in that crash

Man something always told me drunken nights wouldn't last

Ugh that's the life of an addict dog

Had me stuck wishin I could give my dad a call

I was sifting through them issues that we had resolved

Man it's sickening cause I had to see your casket ahhh

I found healing by revisiting pain

had to lift the chains instead

Shiftin the blame

No longer play the victim

That's revealing some change

I vowed to live in wisdom

Hope my kids do the same

This little light of mine

I'm gon' let it shine

Forgetting what lies behind

Through the pain

Through the rain

Ima let it shine

This little light of mine

I'm gon' let it shine

Lookin for the better times

Through the pain

Through the rain

Ima let it shine

Growin up I didn't see my daddy much

Remember momma working hard so I could pack a lunch

And she didn't really ask for much

struggled with the bills but we always seemed to have enough

Seems like we were always packing up

She would take jobs that paid more couldn't pass it up

Remember we would have to catch a bus

Just so I could get the school life can really pack a punch

The hardest worker on the planet

Tho we had our issues

I can not take that for granted

I would hear my momma pray

I would never understand it

Saw the tears in her eyes

But she told me not to panic

I found healing by revisiting pain

had to lift the chains instead

Shiftin the blame

No longer play the victim

That's revealing some change

I vowed to live in wisdom

Hope my kids do the same

This little light of mine

I'm gon' let it shine

Forgetting what lies behind

Through the pain

Through the rain

Ima let it shine

This little light of mine

I'm gon' let it shine

Lookin for the better times

Through the pain

Through the rain

Ima let it shine
