THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD The Conference was deadlocked, We weren’t getting anywhere. The world was going to hell; Then, a new voice addressed the Chair. He’d been around for a while, We thought we’d seen all he had to show. There was all that raw charisma, With nowhere for it to go. Then the young man went to the podium And said, “There’s something that you should know… “I am the Light. I am the Light of the World. I am the Light. I am the Light of the World, The blinding Light of Revelation, The overwhelming Light of Love. I am the Light. I am the Light of the World. Of the World.” Then he was incandescent, And the light streamed from his face. It shone down deep within us all, It filled the whole damn place. It blazed out like a searchlight As the vision raised it’s hand. We had to turn our faces From the radiance of the man. The world changed in an instant, And a Golden Age began. “I am the Light. I am the Light of the World. I am the Light. I am the Light of the World, The blinding Light of Revelation, The overwhelming Light of Love. I am the Light. I am the Light of the World. Of the World.” It started as a courtesy Which he came to expect. We wished to do him honour, Show the Leader our respect, So it became the custom, When our Lord was close at hand, To turn the power off, And artificial light was banned. “My Light shines best alone,” he said, “I knew you’d understand.” “I am the Light. I am the Light of the World. I am the Light. I am the Light of the World, The blinding Light of Revelation, The overwhelming Light of Love. I am the Light. I am the Light of the World. Of the World.” Time came, we couldn’t light a candle, No one would have dared. “My own Light should be quite enough For people,” he declared. Then he turned his Powers skywards, So strong had he become, His scientists fired a black device, Extinguishing the sun. “You will have no other Light but Mine!” he said, “I Am The One!” “I Am The One!” “I am the Light. I am the Light of the World. I am the Light. I am the Light of the World, I am the Light. I am the Light of the World, I am the Light. I am the Light of the World, I am the Light. I am the Light of the World, I am the Light. I am the Light of the World, The blinding Light of Revelation, The overwhelming Light of Love. I am the Light. I am the Light of the World. Of the World.”

I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING I’m now pre-eminent in my field, To none I am obliged to yield. It’s brought me fame, and brought me wealth, And a little thought that I keep to myself… I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t want anyone to know I don’t know what I’m doing. All in the dark, and nothing is clear. I’m thrashing about, I haven’t got the slightest idea. If they knew my total incapacity, They would take everything away from me. A President has been re-elected, An elder statesman, loved, respected. He’s universally admired, But a thought comes sometimes, when he’s tired… I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t want anyone to know I don’t know what I’m doing. All in the dark, and nothing is clear. I’m thrashing about, I haven’t got the slightest idea. If they knew my total incapacity, They would take everything away from me. Almighty God is sitting on his heavenly throne, And He’s got troubles of his own. And the Cherubim before and the Seraphim behind All wonder what’s on His Eternal Mind… I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t want anyone to know I don’t know what I’m doing. All in the dark, and nothing is clear. I’m thrashing about, I haven’t got the slightest idea We all think that we’re about to be found out, But that’s one thing you don’t need to get screwed-up about. (Relax) In spite of your complete incompetence, (Relax) The cosmos won’t give you a second glance. (Relax) The universe is unaware of you. (Relax) It works alright no matter what you do. (Relax… Relax… Relax… Relax… Relax…)
