BECAUSE I'VE SEEN THE LIGHT!
And feel the fading of my dying breath,
But I can't, instead I'll choose what's right,
And I cannot hide, because I've seen the light!
I can't remember much of yesterday,
As my memories have all fallen away,
And faded in the dark of blackest night,
But I can't deny, that I've seen the light!
I don't hold much hope right now,
It's mostly gone in wine stains, where it fell,
And I feel like I'm losing in my fight,
But I can't fade away, because I've seen the light!
I just want to touch the golden sky,
Atop a bridge, and fall, from where I'll fly,
But I can't fail, in this, my daily flight,
And cannot die, because I've seen the light!
I just want to go to eternity and sleep,
And stay within that darkness, way down deep,
But I cannot go against the gracious might,
Of God Divine, because I've seen the light!
I would like to just hide and fade away,
And go to sleep, forever, and a day,
But I can't disappear in any way tonight,
And hide my pain, because I've seen the light!
I've had enough, I'm down on life,
I can't escape the daily grind and daily strife,
And all I seem to know is pain and shite,
But I can't fade away, because I've seen the light!
I've lost my joy and I don't really care,
I'll wallow in that old familiar despair,
And won't complain about my ugly plight,
Instead, I'll sing, because I've seen the light!
I'm lost and things are hanging by a thread,
But whilst I'm dangling, I am not quite yet dead,
And even though my mind is tied up tight,
I'll survive, because I've seen the light!
Everywhere I look, I always see disaster,
And anguish seems to be my only master,
But however much gloom I have in sight,
I cannot close my eyes, because I've seen the light!
When life seems confused and not worth living,
Even in the blackest night, when light is hidden,
Whilst it's dark outside, within, it's bright,
So I cannot hide, because I've seen the light!
Whilst I'm scared, I can't succumb to fear,
Even when the dark is all that's ever near,
I won't submit to doubt, nor to fright,
Because I know that, I'm held tight within the light!
Even in my darkest and most frightful hour,
I can't surrender to it's persuasive power,
Because the dark is low, and I seek the height,
Of stars above, which rest within the light!
