8. Light on the world

Many have seen in different ways
Events move change across the days
Own interest directs many minds
While I am left to peep from behind the blinds

I only have a light on the world
I only have a light on the world
A viewpoint, no new point, just a point of view
My own special light, my own special light
On the world

May have sought public acclaim
Titles climb seek to make a name
Own interest will scale dizzy heights
Bright days slow eclipsed by famous nights

God protect me, truth direct me
If I be unknown, left alone
I will live by my light, I will live by my light
Opinion leave me, only believe me
If I be unknown, left alone
I will live by my light, I will live by my light
