You are the light of the world!
You are the light of the world!
But if that light is under a bushel,
It's lost something kinda crucial.
You've 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!
(chorus:)
So let your light soul shine before men,
Let your light soul 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 kinda hard to hide it well!
You've got to stay pretty in the city of God!
(chorus)
You are the light of the world!
You are the light of the world!
But the tallest candlestick ain't much good without a wick!
You've got to live right to be the light of the world!
