I SEE WRECKS AND LONELINESS AND CAN’T BEAR THE THOUGHT OF WANDERING AROUND WITH THIS SAD BLEEDING HEART I SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND I WANT IT TO CHANGE BUT THAT GOAL APPEARS TO BE JUST OUT OF RANGE I SEE THAT NO ONE CAN HELP ME OR FIX THIS STATE OF AFFAIRS I FEEL HELPLESS, SADDENED AND BEGIN NOT TO CARE I SEE INSPIRATION AND SPIRIT LEAVE MY MIND AND FEEL THAT IM IN A WEB THAT WILL NEVER UNWIND I SEE MYSELF GETTING DEEPER WRAPPED UP INTO THIS GETTING TOO INVOLVED AND LOSING SIGHT OF BLISS I SEE THINGS CLOSING IN AND ABOUT TO TAKE ME UNDER WHEN I SEE SOMETHING NEW AND BEGIN TO WONDER I SEE YOU STANDING THERE AND THINK OUT LOUD HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE THE SADNESS WE ALL WEAR AS A SHROUD I SEE YOU AS HAPPY AND WILLING TO HELP TO MAKE ME SEE THINGS I DON’T KNOW ABOUT MYSELF I SEE YOU COME TOWARDS ME AND PUT OUT YOUR HAND AND THE FEELING OF BEING LOVED IS ALL SO GRAND I SEE IT SPREAD THROUGH ME, BRINGING ME UP LIKE LIQUID LIFE OVERFLOWING FROM A CUP I SEE YOUR LOVE AND HAPPINESS BRIGHTEN UP THE SKY AND WONDER TO MYSELF AND BEGIN TO THINK WHY I SEE MY SELF ASKING WHY WAS I SO SAD TO THINK THAT ALL THE WORLD WAS BITTER AND MAD I SEE NOW THROUGH YOUR EYES THAT THE WOLRD IS NOT A BUNCH OF HIDEOUS LIES I SEE THROUGH YOU A WONDERFUL GLOW AND BEGIN TO REALIZE I WASN’T SO LOW I SEE YOU SO HAPPY AND TOTALLY COURAGEOUS AND BEGIN TO REALIZE THE FEELING IS CONTAGEOUS I SEE MYSELF WANTING TO BE HAPPY AND LIVE MY LIFE FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS AND NEVER IN STRIFE I SEE THIS GIFT THAT YOU HAVE BESTOWED UPON ME AND REALIZE THAT YOU ACTUALLY ONLY MADE ME SEE I SEE THAT YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL TREASURE OF BEING MY FRIEND AND A SOURCE OF PLEASURE I SEE MYSELF WANTING TO THANK YOU AND REPAY MY DEBT BUT YOU SAY IT WAS NOTHING, SOMETHING TO FORGET I SEE YOU WALK, AWAY FROM THIS PLACE GOING OFF TO BRING HOPE TO SOMEONE ELSES FACE I SEE MYSELF LONGING TO SEE YOU STAY BUT REALZE YOUR GIFT IS TOO GREAT TO TAKE AWAY I SEE YOU DISSAPEAR INTO THE NIGHT AND GO ON TO LIVE MY LIFE WITH NEWFOUND SIGHT
