The Gift
He sat there all alone
Few if any knew his name
An old man without his vision
So you turn your head in shame
Living in a world invisible to me
Where most of us, at best, can only wish to be
You need more than eyes to see
You need more than ears to hear
When you live your life truth
The world becomes so clear
As you start your life again
There's a lesson you will find
Sometimes the gift of sight
Is a curse that makes you blind
He kept a holy book
Carried closely at his side
He silently and sightless
Scanned the pages in his mind
The mysteries and memories
Of long gone yesterdays
Now solved and reunited
In another way
You need more than eyes to see
You need more than ears to hear
When you live your life truth
The world becomes so clear
As you start your life again
There's a lesson you will find
Sometimes the gift of sight
Is a curse that makes you blind
His is the name we gave you
A badge to wear it with pride Inspiration from inside
As the angel flies with perfect eyes
He sees your life and joy
You need more than eyes to see
You need more than ears to hear
When you live your life truth
The world becomes so clear
As you start your life again
There's a lesson you will find
Sometimes the gift of sight
Is a curse that makes you blind
Few if any knew his name
An old man without his vision
So you turn your head in shame
Living in a world invisible to me
Where most of us, at best, can only wish to be
You need more than eyes to see
You need more than ears to hear
When you live your life truth
The world becomes so clear
As you start your life again
There's a lesson you will find
Sometimes the gift of sight
Is a curse that makes you blind
He kept a holy book
Carried closely at his side
He silently and sightless
Scanned the pages in his mind
The mysteries and memories
Of long gone yesterdays
Now solved and reunited
In another way
You need more than eyes to see
You need more than ears to hear
When you live your life truth
The world becomes so clear
As you start your life again
There's a lesson you will find
Sometimes the gift of sight
Is a curse that makes you blind
His is the name we gave you
A badge to wear it with pride Inspiration from inside
As the angel flies with perfect eyes
He sees your life and joy
You need more than eyes to see
You need more than ears to hear
When you live your life truth
The world becomes so clear
As you start your life again
There's a lesson you will find
Sometimes the gift of sight
Is a curse that makes you blind
