I Can See The Light

(album: Finer Than Gold - 1981)

I walked alone in endless night
A cane was in my hand
My old tin cup was empty
Just a lonely dying man
Ever wiping 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 shining 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 moving 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 shining 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 shining 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 shining 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 shining 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...
