You CanâÂÂt Be A Beacon (Chorus) You canâÂÂt be a beacon if your light donâÂÂt shine You canâÂÂt be a beacon if your light donâÂÂt shine ThereâÂÂs a little light in all of us by GodâÂÂs design But you canâÂÂt be a beacon if your light donâÂÂt shine How can you ask for the truth When you do not truthful live How can you ask forgiveness When you donâÂÂt forgive I donâÂÂt mean to bring you down or speak to you unkind But you canâÂÂt be a beacon if your light donâÂÂt shine (Repeat chorus) How can you ask a child to be honest and true? When he can only judge whatâÂÂs right by what he sees in you How can you offer vision, yet walk around blind No you canâÂÂt be a beacon if your light donâÂÂt shine (Repeat chorus)
