One, two, three

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

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

Ooh, tell me, what's going on inside of me? (What's going on?)

I despise my own behavior (I despise my own behavior)

This only serves to confirm my suspicions

That I'm still a man in need of a savior (ooh, yeah)

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 (yeah)

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

Oh, tell me, what's going on inside of me? (Oh, what's going on?)

I despise my own behavior (I despise my own behavior)

This only serves to confirm my suspicions

That I'm still a man in need of a savior (oh, yeah, oh)

I wanna be in the light as you are in the light

I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens (yeah)

Oh, Lord, be my light and be my salvation

'Cause all I want is to be in the light (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)

All I want is to be in the light (ooh)

I wanna be in the light as you are in the light

I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens (oh, oh)

Oh, Lord, be my light and be my salvation

'Cause all I want is to be in the light (all I want)

All I want is to be in the light (all I want, all I want)

All I want is to be in the light

In the light, in the light (ooh)

In the light, in the light (I want to be, I want to be)

In the light, in the light (I want to be, I want to be)

In the light, in the light

In the light, in the light (I want to be, I want to be)

(In the light) in the light (I want to be, I want to be)

In the light (in the light) (I want to be, I want to be)

In the light, in the light (I want to be, I want to be)

In the light

There's no other place I want to be

No other place that I can see

A place to be that's just right for me

It's gonna be, it's gonna be in the light

Oh, You are in the light

That's where I need to be

Oh, that's right where I need to be
