lyrics
I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT
See them all come out at night.
Just like stars that shine too bright.
Take the pill, flash the lights.
Seems so wrong, feels so right.
Sure as the leaf falls from the tree,
see the sinners fall to their knees.
Hear them swear 'till they are sore,
that they won't go back for more.
I was there, now I’m not.
I should leave them there to rot.
But there are things that I can show.
Things that they could never know.
The impossible is real,
if your eyes know how to feel.
I’ve seen the sun shine at night,
because I have seen the light.
So take a new name from the grave,
of one who I could not save.
Take my hand, come to me,
I will change your destiny.
Close your eyes and see the sign.
I am waiting, in your mind.
I am the way, right here tonight.
Just surrender, do not fight.
I was blind, now I have sight.
I was wrong, now I am right.
There are things that I can show.
Things that you would never know.
The impossible is real,
if your eyes know how to feel.
I’ve seen the sun shine at night,
because I have seen the light.
Lift your face to the sky.
Ask no questions, do not try.
Hold out your hands, prepare to fly.
Feel your feet begin to rise.
The impossible is real,
if your eyes know how to feel.
I’ve seen the sun shine at night,
because I have seen the light.
