Jack Willow Jr. - In the Light Lyrics

The boy lives at a desk and he lives in the light
And yet he don't know why
And they say he's the best when he gives it a shine
He shines it away and he shines it at home
We think we're all alone
But he lives in the fray and he's waiting to come
To the world I'm not a thing
I'm just a number on a screen now
And that's fine with me
I don't know if I am right
But I won't go into the light now
'Cause I feel so free

Don't put me in the light
Don't put me in the light
I won't exchange what I will do for things that I just might
Don't put me in the light
Don't put me in the light
I won't arrange to just pass through, a stranger in the night

Well there's fish in the sea and there's birds in the bush
But he ain't in a rush
'Cause he knows that it's free if he gives it a push
They walk to the door and deliver his food
He never leaves a room
And he knows what's in store when he gets in the mood
To the world I'm not a thing
I'm just a number on a screen now
And that's fine with me
I don't know if I am right
But I won't go into the light now
'Cause I feel so free

Don't put me in the light
Don't put me in the light
I won't exchange what I will do for things that I just might
Don't put me in the light
Don't put me in the light
I won't arrange to just pass through, a stranger in the night

I am feeling around in the dark
You're concealing the state of the art
It's perfect, flawless, this new kind of truth
A perfect novice, I don't have a clue
Well the world's on a string and it rests in his hands
They move at his command
Well he thinks he's a king but he can't understand

Don't put me in the light
Don't put me in the light
I won't exchange what I will do for things that I just might
Don't put me in the light
Don't put me in the light
I won't arrange to just pass through, a stranger in the night
