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
