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
All I want is to be in the light
All I want is to be in the light

This desease of self runs through my blood
It's a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attemp 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
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 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

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
All I want is to be in the light
All I want is to be in the light (2x)

In the light, in the light
