[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]
