Once I was seeking for peace and quite
Back to the place where you had your time
I found an ashtray I saw your pipe
You told me you burned one of your nine lives
I saw the light
I can see you sitting under the pine
I can see you drinking a glass of red wine
And now that I am here I know that I never had spine
And I saw the light
And I saw the light
But the time went by while you were praying
And the time went by
Maybe I'll find my way
And I saw the light
Letters old books canned food and your knife
And I saw the light
I wish I had told you that I was just fine
And I saw the light
Under you beautiful flourishing vine
And I saw the light
Drinking the last bottle of your tasty moonshine
But the time went by while you were praying
And the time went by
Please show me the way
Please show me the way
'Cause I saw the light
