    Lyrics
    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

    I just want to see the light
    i don't want to lose my sight
    I just want to see the light
    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

    I just want to see the light
    I don't want to lose my sight
    I just want to see the light
    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

    I just want to see the light
    I don't want to lose my sight
    I just want to see the light
    I need to know what's worth the fight
