I'll keep my light in my window


Yeah
I gotta help the world
Yeah
Oh listen

Someone is friendless, cannot find their way
So I'll keep my light in my window
I want to be there to help restore their faith
So I'll keep my light in my window
Born of God's mercy
I'd be in their place
So I'll keep my light in my window

I wanna ease the pain (that life can bring)
Help them find a peace, mmm (their spirit needs)
Have been chosen for (a work to do)
To make this world a much better place
For me and you

(Some call me foolish) to lend a helping hand
So I'll keep my light in my window
I feel so good when I help my fellow man
So I'll keep my light in my window
Until love and mercy are spread throughout the land
So I'll keep my light in my window

I wanna ease the pain (that life can bring)
Help them find a peace, mmm (their spirit needs)
Have been chosen for (a work to do)
To make this world a much better place
For me and you

Whoo
I've gotta help the world, mmm

Ease the pain well (that life can bring)
Help them find a peace (their spirit needs)
Have been chosen for (oh a little work to do)
To make this world a better place
For me and you

Ease the pain, yeah (that life can bring)
Help them find a peace (their spirit needs)
Have been chosen for (a little work to do)
To make this world a better place
For me and you

Ease the pain (oh) that life can bring
Help them find a peace (yeah) their spirit needs
Have been chosen for (oo-hoo) a work to do
To make this world a better place (better place, better place) for me and you

To make this world a better place (yeah)
For me and you (me, you)
To make this world a better place (yeah)
For me and you

(Better than this y'all) to make this world a better place
For me and you
(Oh) to make this world a better place (yeah)
For me and you

To make this world a better place
For me and you

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Marvin Gaye, born Marvin Pentz Gay Jr. (Washington D.C., April 2, 1939 – Los Angeles, April 1, 1984), was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and arranger widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in soul and R and B music. He began his career as a gospel singer in the 1950s before joining Motown Records in 1961. With his smooth and melodic vocals, Gaye's songs often explored themes of love, war, social justice, and personal struggles, resonating with audiences worldwide. Among his most celebrated hits are "Let's Get It On", "Sexual Healing", "What's Going On", and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". The latter, a duet with Tammi Terrell, became an anthem of hope and unity. Gaye received numerous accolades, including six Grammy Awards, and his album "What's Going On" is considered a masterpiece of soul music. His life was marked by personal turmoil and addiction issues, culminating in the tragic murder of his father by Marvin himself in 1984.
