Lyrics:

[1, 2, 3]


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


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


(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

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

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


(repeat chorus)


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 fame 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 I'm still a man in need of a savior


(repeat chorus 2x)


[there's no other place that I want to be]

[no other place that I can see]

[a place to be that's just right]

[someday I'm gonna be in the light]

[you are in the light]

[that's where I need to be]

[that's right where I need to be]
