Yeah I sit and wonder, yeah I often wonder
I sit and wonder 'bout the things she does
I sit and wonder, I often wonder
I've been waiting for this moment to come

Yeah she's the teacher and I'm the pupil
But I ain't learning anything at all
Now I'm falling into a black hole
And I can barely feel the sun

Yeah I sit and wonder, I fall to pieces
I've been waiting for the moment to come
No bed of roses, her cheeks like peaches
Yeah I ain't gonna wait no more

Lord give me some light
Oh give me the light
Yeah give me some light
Give me some light

The rites of passage, we all must take them
Yeah and some are gonna break in the storm
The door is open, and I'm reaching
Yeah it looks like the prodigal son

Yeah give me some light, oh give me the light
Yeah give me some light, give me some light

I've been having trouble in my head, Lord, oh, oh, oh, oh
I've been having demons in my mind, Lord, oh, oh, oh, oh

Lord give me the light, oh give me the light
Yeah give me some light, give me some light

I've been having trouble in my head, Lord, oh, oh, oh, oh
I've been having demons in my mind, Lord, oh, oh, oh, oh
Something's going on inside my head Lord, oh, oh, oh, oh
Something's going on inside my head Lord, oh, oh, oh, oh

I could be searching all my life, searching all my life
Keep that candle on at night, candle on at night
Keep that candle on at night, candle on at night
Could be hurting all the while, hurting all the while
Lord give me the light (light light light light light light light)
