Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine (feat. Ralph Stanley II) - Ralph Stanley

This Little Light Of Mine, I'm gonna let it shine, This Little Light Of Mine, I'm gonna let it shine, This Little Light Of Mine, Yes, I'm gonna let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine The light that shines is the light of love, Lights the darkness from above, It shines on you and it shines on me, And it shows what the light of love can do. I'm gonna shine my light both far and near, I'm gonna shine mine light bright and clear, Where there's a dark corner in this land I'm gonna let my little light shine. This Little Light Of Mine, I'm gonna let it shine, This Little Light Of Mine, I'm gonna let it shine, This Little Light Of Mine, Yes, I'm gonna let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine On Monday he gave me the gift of love, Tuesday peace came from above, Wednesday he told me to have more faith, And on Thursday he brought me the gift of grace. And then on Friday he told me "Watch and pray", And then on Saturday what to say, On Sunday he gave me the power divine To let my little light shine. This Little Light Of Mine, I'm gonna let it shine, This Little Light Of Mine, I'm gonna let it shine, This Little Light Of Mine, Yes, I'm gonna let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Here in a box I hide the letters Written, postmarked with your name Secrets I wish I could only share With a heart that feels, feels the same And here we fall to pieces In front of each other but we know Somehow we're greater Than our lonely fears Here's where the notes were torn and crumbled Before feelings could reach the page Try to replace some sober thought From emotion, fists held up with rage And here we fall to pieces In front of each other but we know Somehow we're so much greater Than Here we fall to pieces In front of each other but we know Somehow we're greater Than our lonely fears Though I'm a simple mind, I know I can see the picture drawn out here You are the reason I have found To keep believing in these years And though the road is long The trying keeps us holding on this way And make no mistake, this is love Love, love, love, this is love, love And here we fall to pieces In front of each other but we know Somehow we're so much greater Than Here we fall to pieces In front of each other but we know Somehow we're greater Than our lonely fears

I'll confess your sweet talk had me weak in the knees But my friend got the same text, cut and copied Cause you're writing love notes to every girl on the block Baby, you should know us girls we talk Secrets out, baby please You're just a tease You're just a tease You sure think that you got what the ladies want Always talking about your dog and your restaurant Oh, you think you're pretty smooth and you're on a roll But this town is really small, and we all know Boy, come on, please You're just a tease You're just a tease, you're just a tease Maybe you were shy back in high school Always stuck in the friendzone But if you keep this up, you're gonna end up alone You spin by, no but that still doesn't make you cool You talk art, but maybe stop cause you sound like a fool When you first moved to town you had has wrapped around You're finger like the ring you're hiding now We all know, baby please You're just a tease You're just a tease, you're just a tease You're just a tease, you're just a tease You're just a tease
