Shine your lights that youths might see your good works too

Elder people, I'm telling you
Shine your lights that youths might see your good works too
Youths can't be blamed for all they do
It's your example, they are following after you

Youths don't take pictures, they don't write books (no-no-no-no)
They don't feel corrupted movies, showing off at close
But I still say, yeah, the majority (now-now-now-now)
Are following elders to be born in vanity (so)

Elder people, I'm telling you
Shine your lights that youths might see your good works too
Youths can't be blamed for all they do
It's your example, they are following after you (well)

Oh wеll-well, it's true, it's true, pеople
Set a better example for the younger ones
Set a better-better example people
So that the younger ones, oh Lord, can follow you

So, elder people, I'm begging you (yeah)
Shine your lights that youths might see your good works too
Youths can't be blamed for all they do
It's your example, they are following after you
So, elder people, begging-begging-begging-begging you
Shine your lights that youths might see your good works too (oh)
Shine your lights, shine your lights, shine your lights
That youths might see your good works too (oh, elder people)

Youths can't be blamed (no-no)
For all they do (yes)
It's your example, people
They are following after you

Oh, elder people
Please, set a better example (oh)
So young ones can follow in your footsteps (yeah)
Elder people, yeah, do what is upright an' what is just
So that the younger ones can follow you
