[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]
