Brighten The Corner (Where You Are)

Ella Fitzgerald · Ella Fitzgerald's Christmas [1995]

Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do

Do not wait to shed your light afar

To the many duties ever near you now be true

Brighten the corner where you are



Brighten the corner where you are

Brighten the corner where you are

Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar

Brighten the corner where you are



Just above are clouded skies that you may help to clear

Let not narrow self your way debar

Though into one heart alone may fall your song of cheer

Brighten the corner where you are



Here for all your talent you may surely find a need

Here reflect the bright and Morning Star

Even from your humble hand the Bread of Life may feed

Brighten the corner where you are
