Oh so cynical and cool/Is the smirk on the face of a fool
Who uses the truth to be cruel
And I have been that fool for sure/Pretending that I'm so mature
And only revealing how insecure I am
Just like a cloud I'll block the sun and bring the shade
I'll cool 'em down so I can rain on their parade

But I'm not living that way anymore
I can no longer ignore the truth and the life all around me
You showed me the Way on the day that You found me
Now I'm chasing the darkness away/Shining as bright as the day
Like a town on a hill in the night/Like a lamp on a stand
I'm the light of the world

Isolation is the key/ Just make everybody believe
That I've got everything that I need
And it's like prison in a way/Cause I know I can never escape
I'm bound in the walls of the laws that I've made
I've given my two cents at least a million times
That's two million pennies spent that now ain't worth a dime

But I'm not living that way anymore...I'm the light of the world

I'm the salt of the earth/That's in the previous verse...

These are hard things to do:/Loving people, speaking truth
Arrogance and pride get in the way/But it's time for me to say...

I'm not living that way anymore... I'm the light of the world
