Light of the World

SOLO (actress who sang Buckminster Fuller in the opening)
You are the light of the world

ALL
You are the light of the world

SOLO
But if that light's hid under a bushel
It's lost something kinda crucial

ALL
You got to stay bright to be the light of the world

SOLO
You are the salt of the earth

ALL
You are the salt of the earth

SOLO
But if that salt's lost its flavor
It ain't got much in its favor

ALL
You can't have that fault and be the salt of the earth

So let your light so shine before men
Let your light so shine
So that they might know some kindness again
We all need help to feel fine

SOLO
Let's have some wine

You are the city of God

ALL
You are the city of God

SOLO
But if that city's on a hill
It's kinda hard to hide it well

ALL
You got to stay pretty in the city of God

So let your light so shine before men
Let your light so shine
So that they might know some kindness again
We all need help to fell fine

SOLO
Let's have some wine

You are the light of the world

ALL
You are the light of the world

SOLO
But the tallest candlestick
Sure ain't much good without a wick

ALL
You got to stay bright to be the light of the world

(optional repeat of chorus)
