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
I'm liable to find a couple of surprises there
There's a song I 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 cambered
Let me learn, let me learn
For I can see it shining somewhere
Bright lights somewhere invite me to compare and learn
And I'm ready, I can hear it, silent singing
Inside my ear, I hear them all singing of love
Who knows maybe all the visions that I see
May be waiting just for me to say
Take me there and make me see it, make me feel it
I know it so, I know that it really may be
Let me learn
