Dave Mason - You're Standing In My Light lyrics

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
