Jim Capaldi Standing In My Light
Now alexander the great he was a big man across the landhe conquered everything in sight had the world at his commandbut somewhere deep down insidehe felt there were things that he still didn't knowso he asked the wise men if they knewor if there was some place he could go
They said that in a far off land lived a man called diogeneswho possessed the kind of knowledge that would put his mind at easeso alexander he saddled upand went looking for that holy grailhe rode and rode for miles and miles'til at last he found the trailthen stepping up he said I'm here please tell me what it is I craveand the voice came back loud and clearfrom the darkness of the cave
And said hey you're standing in my lighthey you're standing in my light
I said hey you're standing in my light
I said hey you're standing in my light
Well I don't know if I know what you think I knowbut I think it's gonna be fineand just remember that whatever's been writtenis just the opinion of one man's mindthere are no easy answersthat I know that'll satisfy youyou just gotta take your chancesand do what you wanna do
But you should know that in this worldyou get what you deserveso when your back's against the wallyou better not lose your nerveso now you're standing on the streetlike you got something to proveand the pavement artist at your feetlooks up everytime you move
And says hey you're standing in my lightsays hey you're standing in my lightyou know that ain't righthey you're standing in my lightyou gonna be there all nightsays hey you're standing in my lightoh get out my light
So when you're headed for the goddess centreand the dream that lies within itjust remember what the man saidthere's one born every minute
Hey you're standing in my lighthey you're standing in my lightyou know that ain't righthey you're standing in my lightyou gonna be there all nighti said hey you're standing in my light
Hey you're standing in my lighthey you're standing in my lightyou know that ain't righthey you're standing in my light
