You're Standing In My Light Lyrics - 26 Letters 12 Notes - Dave Mason

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 

Now that ain't right 

Hey, you're standing in my light 

Hey you, you're standing in my light 

Now get out of my light 

Hey, you're standing in my light 

I said hey, you're standing in my light, no, no 

Hey
