Finally Saw the Light
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I guess I never really thought I'd settle down
But I never really cared
And if I always thought I'd be alone
Well, I could pretend I wasn't scared
And if you told me it's always them or me
I always thought that I was right
And if I never paid much mind to what was going on outside
I guess I finally saw the light, yeah I finally saw the light
I guess I finally saw the light, and it's shining on me
I used to think it was the bad things that you do that you pay for in the end
But more than that it is the good you could have done and you did something else instead
And if you told me, hey, this is how it's gonna end
I'm sure I'd have been surprised
'Cause I've seen lots of people look at me in lots of ways,
But not with killin' in their eyes, not with killin' in their eyes
Not with killin in their eyes, like you're looking at me
Heaven let your light burn down on this lost and lonely boy
I've had my fill of running, good Lord I don't want to run from you no more
I won't ask forgiveness for the things that I have done
I am a lost and lonesome stranger, Lord have mercy, Lord take mercy on your son
If you hadn't caught me here tonight
Would I have died in darkness dreaming of the light
See now you've got me but I've got one last surprise
You're gonna have to wait to see
A curse is born today among these pines
And it's yours eternally
And you can see a light that's shining on my face
And brother, I can see it too
But you think that it's the light of man and by my soul I understand
It's the light of heaven shining through, it's the light of heaven shining throw
It's the light of heaven shining through, and it's shining on me
I guess I never really thought I'd settle down
But I never really cared
And if always thought I'd always be alone, well, I could pretend I wasn't scared
And if you told me it's always them or me
I always thought that I was right
Ain't never paid much mind to what was going on outside
I guess I finally saw the light, yeah I finally saw the light
I guess I finally saw the light, and it's shining on me
