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

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

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

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

Rights of passage, we are mistaken
Yeah, some are going to break into stone
The door is open and I am reaching
Yeah, it looks like a 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 the candle all night, candle all night
Keep the candle all night, candle all night
Could be hurting all the while, hurting all the while
Lord, give me the light.
