He sat in the darkness
At the edge of the road
He heard the crowd passing by
But he couldn't go

So he started crying
Like a child at the door
When they tried to quiet him
He shouted it more

I want to see
Free me from this darkness
Sweeping over me
I want to see
Son of David, have mercy on me

Now his heart was trembling
Could this really be true?
A voice in the darkness said
What do you want Me to do?

I want to see
Free me from this darkness
Sweeping over me
I want to see
Son of David, have mercy on me
Eyes opened in a moment of grace
Light filled in the skies
One touch
And he sees the face of life

Now I'm like that blind man
Who lived long ago
And I want to see Jesus
And I just don't care who knows

I want to see
Free me from this darkness
Sweeping over me
I want to see
Son of David, have mercy on me

I want to see
Free me from this darkness
Sweeping over me
I want to see
Son of David, have mercy on me

(I want to see)
Open my eyes
(Free me, free me)
(Free me, free me)
I want to see
(I want to see)
Oh, free me from the darkness
(Have mercy...)
