I keep trying to find a life
On my own apart from you
I am the king of excuses
I've got one for every selfish thing i do
(tell me) what's going on inside of me
I despise my own behavior
(this only) serves to confirm my suspicion
That i'm still a man in need of a savior
(chorus)
I wanna be in the light
As you are in the light
I wanna shine like the stars
In the heavens
Oh, lord be my light
And be my salvation
'cause all i want is to be in the light
This desease of self runs through my blood (through my blood)
It's a cancer fatal to my soul
Every help on my behalf has failed
To bring this sickness under control
(so tell me) what's going on inside of me
I despise my own behavior
(this only) serves to confirm my suspicion
That i'm still a man in need of a savior
(chorus)
I wanna be in the light
As you are in the light
I wanna shine like the stars
In the heavens
Oh, lord be my light
And be my salvation
'cause all i want is to be in the light
(bridge)
Honesty becomes me
The secrets that did run me
Pride has no position
The fame that once did cover me
Has been sentenced to this earth
(tell me) what's going on inside of me
I despise my own behavior
(this only) serves to confirm my suspicion
That i'm still a man in need of a savior
(chorus)
I wanna be in the light
As you are in the light
I wanna shine like the stars
In the heavens
Oh, lord be my light
And be my salvation
'cause all i want is to be in the light (2x)
