To Make Your Own Light

To Make Your Own Light 

 You won't find it in the bottle  You can look inside a prayer 

 Hard as rain thinner than air

 You can't buy it with money No you can't trade it for gold 

 But it's for the taking  a mystery to behold

 It only comes on truth only comes from inside

 You look for inspiration from on high 

 You ask again and again in the dark of the night 

 You try and you fail and try again to make your own light

 You can find it in a lover  That only works for a time 

 It feels real but it’s only pantomime

 You say you want to create well you've got to destroy 

 To become a man and say goodbye to the boy

 You know in order to land  You're gonna have to leave

 If you want to laugh you’re gonna grieve 

 You ask again and again in the dark of the night

 As you live and you die and you try to make your own light

 To play your hand in life you must be willing to blind

 You try and fail and you fail and you try to make your own light
