I'm just a shadow of a bigger man,
Glowing brighter with each year I am,
I was standing on a mountain,
Just looking down.
It's like my Daddy said,
"You gotta use your head."
(my body won't work for nobody but me, son.)
No one said that they'd aim to please.

All your light can’t save me.
All you light, all your light can’t save me.
I won’t wait for my time may come
I can’t, I can’t wait
My time may come
(my body won’t work for nobody but me, son.)

Gis a boy I had it figured out,
There are things that you can’t live without.
But money, it’s sad but true, would surely top that list
And your rules, your rules, your rules,
Well, they would not be missed.
And I become whole again,
Cause no one said, no one said, no one said
There’d be times like these.

I said
All your light can’t save me.
All you light, all your light can’t save me.
I won’t wait for my time may come
I can’t, I can’t wait
My time may come

(my body won’t work for nobody but me, son.)
No one said there’d be times like these
x4

I was licking flames, when I broke your reins,
Still, no one said, no one said, no one said
It’d be suicide

All your light can’t save me.
All you light, all your light can’t save me.
I won’t wait for my time may come
I can’t, I can’t wait
My time may come

(my body won’t work for nobody but me, son.)
No one said there’d be times like these
x2

All your light can’t save me.
All you light, all your light can’t save me.
I won’t wait for my time may come
I can’t, I can’t wait
My time may come
