Lyrics for See the Light

I crossed the river Fell into the sea Where the non-believers Go beyond belief Then I scratched the surface In the mouth of hell Running 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 need to know what's worth the fight I've been wasted Pills and alcohol I've been chasing Down the pool halls Then I drank the water From a hurricane And 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 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 need to know what's worth the fight
