I crossed the river
Fell into the sea
Where the non-believers go beyond belief
Then I scratched the surface
In the mount of [bad word] [bad word] out of service in the blood I fell

(well I)I just want to see the light!
(and I)I don't want to lose my sight!
(well I)I just want to see the light!
(and I)I need to know what's worth the fight!

I've been wasted
Pills and alcohol
I've been chasing
Down the pool halls
I drank the water from a hurricane
I set a fire just to see the flame

(well I)I just want to see the light!
(and I)I don't want to lose my sight! (well I)I just want to see the light!
(and I)I need to know what's worth the fight!

I crossed the desert
Reaching higher ground
Then I pound the pavement to take the liars down
But it's gone forever,but never too late
Where the ever after is in the hands of fate

(well I)I just want to see the light!
(and I)I don't want to lose my sight!
(well I)I just want to see the light!
(and I)I need to know what's worth the fight!
