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!
