Song

• English

  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 suspicion
  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

  This disease of self runs through my blood (through my blood)
  It’s a cancer fatal to my soul
  Every help on my behalf has failed
  to bring this sickness under control

  (So tell me) what’s going on inside of me
  I despise my own behavior
  (This only) serves to confirm my suspicion
  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

  (BRIDGE)
  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 suspicion
  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 (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
