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]
