The Light Comes From Within Lyrics by Linda McCartney

Wide Prairie

1998

You say I'm lazy
You say I don't fit
Takes one to know one
You make me sick
You say I'm simple
You say I'm a hick
You're fucking no one
You stupid dick

Oppression won't win
The light comes from within

I need a sense of cause
Wanna smell the flowers
You need complete control
You wanna build more towers

You try to change me if you could
I see the trees, you saw the wood
You say I'm different
You say we don't click
I say you're crazy
You make me sick

Oppression won't win
The light comes from within

I say you're greedy because you scheme
You say I'm foolish because I dream

Oppression won't win
The light comes from within

I need a sense of cause
Wanna smell the flowers
You need complete control
You wanna build more towers

I say you're greedy because you scheme
You say I'm foolish because I dream

Oppression won't win
The light comes from within
