Song Lyrics

You are the light of the world
You are the light of the world
But if that light's under a bushel
It's lost something kind of crucial
You got to stay bright to be the light of the world

You are the salt of the earth
You are the salt of the earth
But if that salt has lost its flavor
It ain't got much in its favor
You can't have that fault and be the salt of the earth

So let your light, so shine before men
Let your light so shine
So that they might know some kindness again
We all need help to feel fine, let's have some wine

You are the city of God
You are the city of God
But if that city's on a hill
It's kind of hard to hide it well
You gotta stay pretty in the city of God

So let your light, so shine before men
Let your light so shine
So that they might know some kindness again
We all need help to feel fine, let's have some wine

You are the light of the world
You are the light of the world
But the tallest candle stick
Ain't much good without a wick
You got to live right to be the light of the world
