Betty Buckley - I Can See It (The Fantasticks) lyrics

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 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! I can learn! That pretty little world that beams so bright That pretty little world that seems delightful Can burn! Burn! 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! I can see it! (He can see it!) Shining somewhere! (Shining somewhere!) Those lights not only glitter But once there they burn! I can hear it! (He can hear it!) Sirens singing! (Sirens singings!) Don't listen close Or maybe you'll never Return! Who know, maybe All the visions that I (he) sees May be waiting just for me (him) to Say I can see it! Say Shining somewhere! Say Let me see it! Say Take me there And make me a part of it! Make me see Those shining sights inside of me! (Make him see it!) Make me feel Those lights inside Don't lie to me! (Make him feel it!) I (he) know(s) it's so -- I (he) know(s) that it really may be! Just what I always waited for! This is what my life's created for! Let me (him) learn!
