Lyrics
Little Soul
My little light
Is going to shine
Shine out so bright
And illuminate your mind
My little soul will leave a footprint
This little voice
Is going to sing
I have no choice
It will infinitely ring
My little soul will leave a footprint
I'm channelling the universe
That's focusing itself
Inside of me
A singularity
My little words
Are going to sting
Haven't you heard
The pain and joy they bring
My little soul will leave a footprint
I'm channelling the universe
That's focusing itself
Inside of me
A singularity
Your little eyes
They're going to see
I can't disguise
The beauty inside me
My little soul will leave a footprint
