Verse 1

Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do,
do not wait to shed your light afar —
to the many duties ever near you now be true:
brighten the corner where you are.

Chorus

Brighten the corner where you are, brighten the corner where you are;
someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar —
brighten the corner where you are.
