[Verse 1]
My little light
Is going to shine
Shine out so bright
And illuminate your mind

[Chorus]
My little soul
Will leave a footprint

[Verse 2]
This little voice
Is going to sing
I have no choice
It will infinitely ring

[Chorus]
My little soul
Will leave a footprint

[Refrain]
I'm channeling the universe
It's focusing its love inside of me
A Singularity

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
My little words
Are going to sting
Haven't you heard
The pain and joy they bring

[Chorus]
My little soul
Will leave a footprint

[Refrain]
I'm channeling the universe
It's focusing its love inside of me
A Singularity

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
Your little eyes
They're going to see
I can't disguise
The beauty inside me

[Chorus]
My little soul
Will leave a footprint

Depeche Mode are recognized as one of the most artistically influential bands of the late 20th century. Commercially, they have released 14 studio albums to date, and sold more than 100 million records. Their most recent album, Spirit, hit the streets in March 2017.

The band got their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980, and named themselves after a French fashion magazine. They rose to fame with hits that have become “Just Can’t Get Enough” (1981), “Everything Counts” (1983), and “People Are People” (1984), to name a few. One of their most famous concerts was at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988.

Martin Gore has been the band’s primary songwriter since Vince Clarke left in the early 1980s (and went on to form Yazoo and Erasure). Alan Wilder replaced Clarke on keyboards in 1982, but left in 1995 (reinvesting his creative energy in his band, Recoil, which he had started in 1986). Since then, the band has comprised frontman Dave Gahan, multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore, and keyboardist Andy Fletcher—all of whom are original members.
