The Light’s On You

You've been as close to the edge as you can be
A voice comes on and says, "Why aren't you happy?"
I've been on the Earth for twenty-nine years
And haven't found what to do with my life

Man comes on the screen, and he asks boldly
"Does it make you sad to be so lonely?"
I think I know what life's about
Yet I've never had a chance to find out what went wrong

Oh-oh-oh, the light's on you
Tell us the story of your life
The light's on you
Tell us, even if you don't feel right about the things you've done
Tell us why you'rе on the run
The light's on you
Tell us thе story of your life

Silence fills the room, the air turns sour
Think to yourself, "It's been almost an hour"
How can I say just what I feel
When I've been taught to hide the things that come from inside?

Oh-oh-oh, the light's on you
Tell us the story of your life
The light's on you
Tell us, even if you don't feel right about the things you've done
Tell us why you're on the run
The light's on you
Tell us the story of your life

Who can we send today?
Who can we use today to put in front of us
To cover up ourselves and keep it all safe insi-i-ide?
I-i-ide
I-i-ide
I-i-ide

You sense the fact that this ordeal is over
You feel the cross being lifted off your shoulder
The end of the beginning
And I think that I'm about to see the start of something new

Oh-oh-oh, the light's on you
Tell us the story of your life
The light's on you
Tell us, even if you don't feel right about the things you've done
Tell us why you're on the run
The light's on you
Tell us the story of your life
The light's on you
Tell us the story of your life
