“The Blind Man”

How many ways can life be seen, through a pair of closed eyes.
You wouldn't think there would be a way, but not unless you're blind.
‘Cuz although the blind man has no sight, he can see beyond the haze.
That clouds the minds of common men, who are blessed with their praise.

For he has a thought impressed by none, although it’s a thought of wisdom.
The common man never understands, and very rarely learns the lesson.
He has no sight so what could he know, surely nothing worth a thought.
But it’s not really him that’s the blind man, ‘cuz he has already been taught.

The Blind Man He Can See,
Things that You Would Never Believe,
The Blind Man He Knows,
Where the Key is to Eternity.
There Dreams and Fairy Tales,
Always Come True.
The Blind Man He Sees Too.

His visions can’t deceive him, while gazing upon the simplest things.
‘Cuz he cannot use his eyes, so his mind has to do all the seeing.
And it’s not how you see it, but how it’s seen from someone else’s eyes.
Your point of view doesn't matter much, if you can't see it from behind.

A mortal man never stops to think, about what here has been said.
And surely wouldn’t even hesitate, or feel any regrets.
That maybe he had lived his life, without opening his mind.
Sightless he proceeds into eternity, and never wonders why.

Oh the Blind Man Always There,
With the Answers to Your Despair.
The Blind Man He Can Help You Through.
He Cares for You and Everyone,
As Long as They Know Right from Wrong.
The Blind Man, Oh The Blind Man,
Sees This Song.
