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 every time 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 center 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
