Every man must grow if he's to last
He's like the seed upon the ground
And should come into bloom before his season's past
To keep the cycle going 'round
Weeds growing up over me
Hiding me from the light
Warm me up and discover me
Standing high in your sight
Oh, Mississippi sunshine, shine a little light on me
ย
Oh, won't you bring me up out of the ground and try to set me free?
ย
The hands may move on the clock upon the wall
But time stands so still for me
And all the dreams I built around me seem to fall
And hope flows far beyond my reach
Feel my life slip away from me
Running right out of time
Dreaming dreams that may never be
And getting further behind
Oh, Mississippi sunshine, shine a little light on me
Oh, won't you bring me up out of the ground and try to set me free?
ย
There's a light that shines in the mind of everyone
No matter who you are or how alone or brave
Just give some life to the love inside that I'm holding on
Rays of truth raise me wise, rays of youth, I will arise
Let it shine (Let it shine)
Let it shine (Let it shine)
Let it shine!
Mississippi sunshine, shine, shine a little light on me
Bring me up out of the ground, try to set me free
Mississippi sunshine, shine, shine
A little, shine a little light on me
Bring me up out of the ground, let me, let me free
Mississippi sunshine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine
Bring me up out of the ground, bring me up, set me free
Mississippi sunshine, shine, shine
A little, shine a little light on me
Bring me up out of the ground, try to set me free
