Lyrics Barry McGuire

Barry McGuire

I Can See The Light

I walked alone in endless night

A cane was in my hand

My old tin cup was empty

Just a lonely dyin' man

Ever wipin' tears away

From eyes that couldn't see

As every day the darkness covered me

Then one day I heard the sound

Of people passing by

They were shouting "He's the light!"

I couldn't hear just why

I was pushed out by the crowd

I wished that I could see

Who this man of light could really be

I want to see the light

Oh, see it shinin' bright

I want to see the light

Take the night away

And bring the day

My eyes are blind

I want to see the light

Then the crowd kept movin' on

And I was left behind

Groping through the darkness

As confusion filled my mind

Suddenly a gentle hand

Took me by surprise

Then the light or morning filled my eyes

Now I can see the light

Oh, see it shinin' bright

Now I can see the light

He took the night away

And brought the day

My eyes were blind

But now I see the light

Whoo!

Now I can see the light

Oh, see it shinin' bright

Now I can see the light

He took the night away

And brought the day

My eyes were blind

But now I see the light

Now I can see the light

Oh, see it shinin' bright

Now I can see the light

He took the night away

And brought the day

My eyes were blind

But now I see the light

Now I can see the light

Oh, see it shinin' bright

Now I can see the light

He took the night away

And brought the day

My eyes were blind

But now I see the light...
