The road was rough and the valley was wide, the lights of home were far behind, the nights were cold and the days were long, and still I journeyed on. The rain came down and the river rose, and darkness tried to take a hold, the wind began to cry and moan, and I was feeling lost and all alone. And I said, Lord, let me see the light, oh Lord, let me see the light. The water was deep and the current was strong, beyond the rock I tried to hold on, I could not reach the other side, my soul cried out against the rising tide. I cried, Lord, let me see the light, oh Lord, let me see the light. The lights of dawn came over the hill, the water went down and the wind lay still, was then I knew I was not alone, as I turned round for the journey home. I said, Lord, I can see the light, oh Lord, I can see the light. Lord, I can see the light, oh Lord, I can see the light.
