I Can See It

[EL GALLO, spoken]
See, he sees it
And the world seems very grand

[MATT]
Beyond that road lies a shining world

[EL GALLO]
Beyond that road lies despair

[MATT]
Beyond that road lies a world that's gleaming

[EL GALLO]
People who are scheming

[MATT]
Beauty

[EL GALLO]
Hunger

[MATT]
Glory

[EL GALLO]
Sorrow

[MATT]
Never a pain or care

[EL GALLO]
He's liable to find a couple of surprises there

There's a song he must sing;
It's a well-known song
But the tune is bitter
And it doesn't take long to learn

[MATT]
I can learn

[EL GALLO]
That pretty little world that beams so bright
That pretty little world that seems delightful
Can burn!

[MATT & EL GALLO]
Let me learn Burn
Let me learn Burn

[MATT]
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!

[MATT & EL GALLO]
I can see it! He can see it!
Shining somewhere! Shining somewhere!

[EL GALLO]
Those lights not only glitter but once there

[MATT & EL GALLO]
They burn! I can see it!
I can hear it! He can hear it!
Sirens singing! Sirens singing!

[EL GALLO]
Don't listen close or maybe you'll never

[MATT & EL GALLO]
Return! I can hear it!

[MATT & EL GALLO]
Who knows—maybe
All the visions I/he can see
Maybe waiting just for me/him to—

[EL GALLO raises his hands as if casting a spell on MATT.]

[EL GALLO]
Say—

[MATT]
I can see it

[EL GALLO]
Say—

[MATT]
Shining somewhere

[EL GALLO]
Say—

[MATT]
Let me see it

[EL GALLO]
Say—

[MATT]
Take me there
And make me a part of it

[MATT & EL GALLO]
Make me see Make
Those shining sights inside of me Him see it
Make me feel Make
Those lights inside
Don't lie to me! Him feel it

[MATT & EL GALLO]
I know/He knows it's so—
I know/He knows that it really may be!

[MATT]
Just what I always waited for
This is what my life's created for!

[MATT & EL GALLO]
Let me/him learn!
