Light Of The World Lyrics - The Alan Parsons Project

I am just a stranger in a promised land 

I am only learning a game with rules I don't understand 

Going 'round in circles, I've been 'round before 

I am lost in so many ways, I can walk no more 

I can walk no more 

I am just a drifter on an open sea 

But no matter how much I try, the tide will not turn for me 

Going 'round in circles till I reach the shore 

I am blown by so many winds, I can take no more 

I can take no more 

Light of the world, I stand alone 

'Cause I could not see the light of the world 

Show me the fire in a true believer's eye 

I am just a dreamer when I close my eyes 

I can fly so close to the sun that I cannot see it rise 

Going 'round in circles in a silent sky 

I am lost for so many words, I cannot say why 

I cannot say why 

Light of the world, I stand alone 

'Cause I could not see the light of the world 

Show me the fire in a true believer's eye 

Just a traveler on an endless flight 

But no matter which way I turn, I journey into the night 

Going 'round in circles till the mountains fall 

To believe in so many truths makes no sense at all 

Makes no sense at all 

Light of the world, I stand alone 

'Cause I could not see the light of the world 

I was afraid 'cause I could not see the light of the world 

Show me the fire in a true believer's eye 

So many ways 

So many ways
