I Can See It

Beyond that road lies a shining world.

Beyond that road lies despair.

Beyond that road lies a world that's gleaming.

People who are scheming.

Beauty!

Hunger!

Glory!

Sorrow!

Never a pain or care.

I'm liable to find a couple of surprises there.

There's a song he must sing;

It's a well-known song.

But the tune is bitter

And it doesn't take long to learn!

I can learn!

That pretty little world that beams so bright.

That pretty little world that seems delightful

Can burn!

Let me learn! Let me learn!

For, I can see it!

Shining somewhere!

Bright lights somewhere invite me to come there

And learn!

And I'm ready!

I can hear it!

Sirens singing!

Inside my ear I hear them all singing

Come learn!

Who knows, maybe

All the visions I can see

May be waiting just for me

To say take me there, and

Make me see it!

Make me feel it!

I know it's so

I know that it really

May be!

Let me learn!
