You're 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 he still didn't know

So he asked the wise men if they knew

If there was some place he could go

They said that in a far off land

Lived a man named Diogenes

Who possessed the kind of knowledge

That could put his mind at ease

Then stepping up, he said, "I'm here

Please tell me what it is I crave"

And the voice came back loud and clear

From the darkness of the cave

And said, hey, you're standing in my light

I said hey, you're standing in my light

You know that ain't right

Hey, you're standing in my light

Hey you, you're standing in my light

Now I don't know what you think I know

But I'm sure it's gonna be fine

And 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

Don't you know that in this world

You get what you deserve

So when your back's against the wall

You better not lose your nerve

And now you're standing on the street

Like you got something to prove

And the pavement artist at your feet

Looks up every time you move

And says hey, you're standing in my light

I said hey, you're standing in my light

You know that ain't right

I said hey, you're standing in my light

Hey you, you're standing in my light

Now get out of my light

So when you're headed for that goddess center

And the dream that lies within it

Just remember what the man said

There's one born every minute

I said hey, you're standing in my light

I said hey, you're standing in my light
