“I've seen the light
And I've seen the flame.
And I've been this way before,
And I'm sure to be this way again.For I've been refused,
And I've been regained,
And I've seen your eyes before,
And I'm sure to see your eyes again.
Once again.For I've been released,
And I've been regained,
And I've sung my song before,
And I'm sure to sing my song again.
Once again.”

“I don't know if I've ever felt like this before
But I'm sure that the way I feel, I don't want it to go

And I've sang my share of blues
But to keep you over here, I'll do what I got to do”
