I went out into the darkness
Darkness turned to light
And when I found my freedom
He said that freedom wasn't mine
I cross the mighty ocean
To watch you from afar
I climb the highest mountain
To see just where you are
Say you, say you, say you, why
Say you, say you, say you, why
When we get off to heaven
And we fall upon our knees
With every kind of trouble
It ain't easy to be pleased
We look for comfort in our bedroom
But when we close our eyes
The shadows crawl all over
And blacken up the sky
I say, I say, I say, I'm fine
I say, I say, I say, I'm fine
Listen what I'm saying
I'm not telling no lie
Count your blessings every day
No telling how much time
I went out into the darkness
Darkness turned to light
And when I found my freedom
He said that freedom wasn't mine
I cross the mighty ocean
To watch you from afar
I climb the highest mountain
To see just where you are
Say you, say you, say you, why
Say you, say you, why
Say you, why
