I See The Light
Alan Menken Lyrics

All those days watching from the windows
For a long time, I've been merely observing things from the sidelines

All those years outside looking in
I've spent years viewing others from a distance, without participating in anything

All that time never even knowing
Despite being a spectator for so long, I was oblivious to something crucial

Just how blind I've been
I was unaware of the reality that I was completely naive and ignorant of things that actually matter

Now I'm here blinking in the starlight
I'm dazzled by the new world that has opened up before me

Now I'm here suddenly I see
The new dawn has made me realize something that had evaded me before

Standing here it's all so clear
Now that I'm closer, everything becomes crystal clear and unambiguous

I'm where I'm meant to be
At this moment, I'm precisely where my destiny has led me to

And at last I see the light
Finally, I've gained clarity and insight into things that used to be opaque

And it's like the fog has lifted
It's akin to the rising of a veil of uncertainty that had earlier clouded my thoughts

And it's like the sky is new
Everything around me feels fresh, as if I'm discovering them for the first time

And it's warm and real and bright
The newfound insights and knowledge I've gained are both heartfelt and colourful

And the world has somehow shifted
There's been a major paradigm shift, and the world seems different in a significant way

All at once everything is different
Everything alters when I have a better understanding of the situation

Now that I see you
It's only when I'm in this space that I can comprehend these nuances

All those days chasing down a daydream
For a long time, I pursued something that was never a reality

All those years living in a blur
Living in a daze, the reality was perpetually out of reach

All that time never truly seeing
It's only when I emerged from this dreamy state that I realized I wasn't seeing things accurately

Things, the way they were
It's amazing to see all of the facts and components for how they genuinely are in close range..

Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now that this person is here, I can see everything vividly

Now she's here suddenly I know
The coming of this person brought about an epiphany

If she's here it's crystal clear
Their presence here clarifies everything for me

I'm where I'm meant to go
With this person's appearance, I'm convinced that I'm finally headed in the right direction.

Now that I see you
It is only after this person has come along that I can see everything accurately.
