This Little Light of Mine... is it really mine?
I care for it, I keep it alight,
I make it shine bright to tell the world
how wonderful it is and has been in my life.
I hold it in my hands,
but is this light really mine?
Do I have the right to allow it to be extinguished?
Do I have the right to keep it hidden, keep it to myself?
It is my prerogative,
but is this light really mine?
When I am given it as a gift,
when I am aware that it has come "alive" in my hands,
when I see the sacrifice that has been made for it to be lit...
so, is this light really mine?
