[Intro]
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

[Verse]
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
Can burn
Let me learn
Let me learn

[Chorus]
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 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's so
I know that it really
May be
Let me learn!
