Why so many people always run around
Looking for a happiness that can't be found
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

For everyone resplendent in the wealth of kings
Thousands upon thousands only suffering
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

I want to be a part of the light
Please let me be a part of the light
I want to be a part of the light
I choose to be a part of the light
Oh, light

Why so many people only close their hearts
Turn their eyes as others' lives are torn apart
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

When kindness is the greatest gift that one can share
Why choose hate to subjugate your fellow man
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

I want to be a part of the light
Please let me be a part of the light
I want to be a part of the light
I choose to be a part of the light
Oh, light
Oh, light
Oh, light
Oh, light
