in the light

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 suspicions

that i'm still a man in need of a savior

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

all i want is to be in the light

the disease of self runs through my blood

it's a cancer fatal to my soul

yeah

every attempt on my behalf has failed

to bring this sickness under control

tell me what's going on inside of me?

i despise my own behavior

this only serves to confirm my suspicions

that i'm still a man in need of a savior

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

all i want is to be in the light

honesty becomes me

there's nothing left to lose

the secrets that did run me

in your presence are defused

pride has no position

and riches have no worth

the fear that once did cover me

has been sentenced to this earth

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 suspicions

that we are all in need of a savior

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

all i want is to be in the light

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

all i want is to be in the light
