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
CHORUS:

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?
CHORUS
Eyes opened in a moment of grace

Light filled the skies
One touch
And he sees the face of life

Now I'm like that blind man
Who lived long ago
I want to see Jesus

And I just don't care who knows
CHORUS
