Let It Shine

Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young

There's a light on

over my head, my Lord

There's a light on

over my head, my Lord

Let it shine, let it shine

Although it may not be

the only one

Let it shine, shine, shine

Although it may not be

the only one.

There's a moon roof

over my head, my Lord

And my Lincoln is still

the best thing built by Ford

Let it roll, let it roll

Although it may not be

the only one

Let me ride, ride, ride, ride,

Although I may not be

the only one.

I got religion

in the airport, my Lord

They caught me waiting on

my baggage when I was bored

Let them chant, let them chant

Although they may not be

the only one

Let them dance, dance, dance

Although they may not be

the only one.

There's a light on

over my head, my Lord

There's a light on

over my head, let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine

Although it may not be

the only one

Let me shine, shine, shine, shine

Although I may not be

the only one.

Let It Shine

Neil Young's "Let It Shine" stands as a poignant addition to his expansive discography, reflecting the artist's signature blend of folk-rock and introspective lyricism. Recorded during a period where Young frequently explored themes of spiritual renewal and personal resilience, the track captures a moment of quiet reflection characteristic of his later work. The song's acoustic foundation and Young's distinctive vocal delivery invite listeners into a contemplative space, echoing the emotional depth found in many of his catalogues. As part of his ongoing exploration of American roots music, the recording contributes to a body of work that has deeply influenced generations of musicians seeking to merge traditional instrumentation with contemporary emotional expression.
