See The Light

Green Day · 21st Century Breakdown [2009]

Well 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



Well I, I just want to see the light

And I, I don't want to lose my sight

Well I, I just want to see the light

And I need to know what's worth the fight



I've been wasted

Pills and alcohol

And 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



Well I, I just want to see the light

And I, I don't want to lose my sight

Well I, I just want to see the light

And I need to know what's worth the fight



Well 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



Well I, I just want to see the light

And I, I don't want to lose my sight

Well I, I just want to see the light

And I need to know what's worth the fight
