I Can See It

Lyrics

[MATT] Beyond that road lies a shining world [EL GALLO] Beyond that road lies despair [MATT] Beyond that road lies a world that's gleaming [EL GALLO] People who are scheming [MATT] Beauty [EL GALLO] Hunger [MATT] Glory [EL GALLO] Sorrow [MATT] Never a pain or care [EL GALLO] He's 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 [MATT] I can learn [EL GALLO] That pretty little world that beams so bright That pretty little world that seems delightful Can burn! [MATT & EL GALLO] Let me learn Burn Let me learn Burn [MATT] 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! [MATT & EL GALLO] I can see it! He can see it! Shining somewhere! Shining somewhere! [EL GALLO] Those lights not only glitter but once there [MATT & EL GALLO] They burn! I can see it! I can hear it He can hear it Sirens singing Sirens singing [EL GALLO] Don't listen close or maybe you'll never [MATT & EL GALLO] Return! I can hear it! [MATT & EL GALLO] Who knows—maybe All the visions I/he can see Maybe waiting just for me/him to— [EL GALLO raises his hands as if casting a spell on MATT.] [EL GALLO] Say— [MATT] I can see it [EL GALLO] Say— [MATT] Shining somewhere [EL GALLO] Say— [MATT] Let me see it [EL GALLO] Say— [MATT] Take me there And make me a part of it [MATT & EL GALLO] Make me see Make Those shining sights inside of me Him see it Make me feel Make Those lights inside Don't lie to me! Him feel it [MATT & EL GALLO] I know/He knows it's so— I know/He knows that it really may be! [MATT] Just what I always waited for This is what my life's created for! [MATT & EL GALLO] Let me/him learn!
