Standing in My Light

Now, Alexander the Great

He was a big man across the land

He conquered everything in sight

He had the world at his command

But somewhere deep down inside

He felt there were things that he still didn't know

So he asked the wise men if they knew

Or if there was someplace he could go

They said that in a far off land

Lived a man called Diogenes

Who possessed the kind of knowledge

That would put his mind at ease

So Alexander, he saddled up

And went looking for that Holy Grail

He rode and rode for miles and miles

Until at last he found the trail

Stepping up, he said, "I'm here

Please tell me what it is I crave"

And a voice came back loud and clear

From the darkness of the cave

It said, "Hey, you're standing in my light

Hey, you're standing in my light"

I said, "Hey, you're standing in my light"

I said, "Hey, you're standing in my light"

Well, I don't know if I know what you think I know

But I think it's gonna be fine

Just remember that whatever's been written

Is just the opinion of one man's mind

There are no easy answers

That I know that'll satisfy you

You just gotta take your chances

And do what you wanna do

But you should know that in this world

You get what you deserve

So when your back's against the wall

You'd better not lose your nerve

So now you're standing from the streetlight

You got something to prove

And the pavement artist at your feet

Looks up every time you move

He says, "Hey, you're standing in my light"

Said, "Hey, you're standing in my light"

You know that ain't right

"Hey, you're standing in my light"

You're gonna be there all night

I said, "Hey, you're standing in my light"

Ah, get out my light

So when you're headed for the goddess center

And the dreamer lies within

Just remember what the man said

There's one born every minute

Said, "Hey, you're standing in my light"

Said, "Hey, you're standing in my light"

You know that ain't right

"Hey, you're standing in my light"

Gonna be there all night

I said, "Hey, you're standing in my light"

Alright

"Hey, you're standing in my light"

Alright

"Hey, you're standing in my light"

You know that ain't right

I said, "Hey, you're standing in my light"

Hey, you're standing in my light
