Light Of The World

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

I am just a stranger, in a promised land

I am only learning a game with the 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, in 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 can not see it rise

Going round in circles, in a silent sky

I am lost for so many words

I can not say why

I can not 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 traveller, 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
