I'm just the shadow of a bigger man
Glowing brighter with each year, I am
I was standing on a mountain just looking down
It's like my daddy says you gotta use your head

My body won't work for nobody but me, son
No one said that they'd aim to please

All your light can't save me
All your light, all your light can save me
I won't wait for my time to come
I can't wait, I can't wait for my time to come

My body won't work for nobody but me, son

As a boy I had it figured out
There are things that you can't live without
But money, it's sad but true, is surely topping lists
And your rules, your rules, your rules, well, they will not be missed

And I became whole again
'Cause no one said, no one said, no one said
There'd be times like these

I said, all your light can't save me
All your light, all your light can't save me
I won't wait for my time to come
I can't wait, I can't wait, my time to come

My body won't work for nobody but me, son
No one said there'd be times like these
My body won't work for nobody but me, son
No one said there'd be times like these

My body won't work for nobody but me, son
No one said there'd be times like these
My body won't work for nobody but me, son
No one said there'd be times like these

I was making flames, when I broke your reins
Still, no one said, no one said, no one said
It'd be suicide

All your light can't save me
All your light, all your light can save me
I won't wait for my time to come
I can't wait, I can't wait for my time to come

My body won't work for nobody but me, son
No one said there'd be times like these
My body won't work for nobody but me, son
No one said there'd be times like these

All your light can't save me
All your light, all your light can't save me
I will wait for my time to come
I can't wait, I can't wait for my time to come

All your light can't save me
All your light, all your light can save me
I won't wait for my time to come
I can't wait, I can't wait for my time to come

All your light can't save me
All your light, all your light can save me
I won't wait for my time to come
I can't wait, I can't wait for my time to come
