**The Light Behind You**

The light behind you shinning so bright,
Blinded and dazed with no sense of what’s right,
Its not all birds chirping and beautiful mornings,
There’s extinctions and evacuation warnings,
Why can’t you see that, why don’t you understand,
You have no control, you have no command,
You live in the clouds and never come down,
Once there’s a storm well in here safe and sound,
It’s better down here you’ll note the reality,
Although this place is full with liars and insincerity,
Here there’s people to blame and people to trust,
Cause it’s that light behind you,
Good it’s starting to fill with dust.
