Standing in My Light Songtext

von Jim Capaldi

Now Alexander the great he was a big man across the land
He conquered everything in sight had the world at his command
But somewhere deep down inside
He felt there were things that he still didn't know
So he asked the wise men if they knew
Or if there was some place he could go

They said that in a far off land lived a man called diogenes
Who possessed the kind of knowledge that would put his mind at ease
So Alexander he saddled up
And went looking for that holy grail
He rode and rode for miles and miles
'til at last he found the trail
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
Hey 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 know
But I think it's gonna be fine
And just 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

But you should know that in this world
You get what you deserve
So when your back's against the wall
You better not lose your nerve
So now you're standing on the street
Like you got something to prove
And the pavement artist at your feet
Looks up everytime you move

And says hey you're standing in my light
Says hey you're standing in my light
You know that ain't right
Hey you're standing in my light
You gonna be there all night
Says hey you're standing in my light
Oh get out my light

So when you're headed for the goddess centre
And the dream that lies within it
Just remember what the man said
There's one born every minute

Hey you're standing in my light
Hey you're standing in my light
You know that ain't right
Hey you're standing in my light
You gonna be there all night
I said hey you're standing in my light

Hey you're standing in my light
Hey you're standing in my light
You know that ain't right
Hey you're standing in my light
