Standing In The Light Lyrics - Something About You: The Collection - Level 42

a summer's day in sixty-eight 

sunlight through a window falls across the page 

a young boy tries to concentrate 

his mind would rather fly beyond the classroom cage 

he can take the teacher's voice 

turn it into music from another place 

all the other kids don't have that choice 

hanging on to every word the teacher says 

day and night - we will be touched 

standing in the light - don't shadow the genius

so out of school he walks alone 

soon his thoughts are flowing like a golden stream 

an empty house he calls his own 

this place becomes a temple to a silent dream 

sometimes he will clap and sing 

then deep in meditation he will learn to be 

and only birds upon the wing 

with upward fascination claim to be so free 

day and night - we will be touched 

standing in the light - don't shadow the genius 

your smile, your freedom 

comes to you from within 

still a child with a reason 

you're afraid but it's time to begin 

blow the wind of change 

though the words are strange - to hear 

say what's on your mind 

now is not the time - for fear 

a summer's day in eight-one 

sunlight through a window falls across the page 

a young man's fight has just begun 

and rising up inside him is a burning rage 

they called his dream a fantasy 

a song that every child has sung since time began 

but just as long as he believes 

standing in the light he'll make them understand
