Otherwise, I like to play it without.
(palm muted)
da da dum ooh dada da dum
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
(release palm mute)
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, oh oh oh oh oh
All i want is to be in the Light
(palm muted)
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
(release palm mute)
Tell me what's going on inside of me? i despise my own behavior
(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, (ye-ah)
All i want is to be in the Light
(palm muted)
Honesty becomes me (there's nothing left to lose)
The secrets that did run me (in Your Presence are refused)
Pride has no position (as riches have no worth)
The pain that once did cover me has been sentenced to this earth
Has been sentenced to this earth
(release palm mute)
Tell me what's going on inside of me? (oh what's goin' on)
i despise my own behavior (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 (ye-ah)
Oh Lord, be my Light, and be my salvation
'Cause all i want is to be in the Light, (ooh yeah, oh yeah)
All i want is to be in the Light (ooh)
(syncopated, palm muted)
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, (repeat)
In the Light (i want to be, i want to be) In the Light, (repeat)
(in the Light, in the Light)
i want to be, i want to be i want to be, i want to be
There's no other place i want to be no other place that i can see
a place to be that's just right, home
It's gonna be, it's gonna be in the Light, and You are in the Light
It's where i need to be, it's right where i need to be...
