"Best to be Blind"

Seems like all our souls are forgotten
Leaves this world so dark and rotten
My eyes see the beauty of color that is the world
My blind friend sees what’s left and forgotten

-Chorus-
It’s best to be blind
Can’t see the stains of time
It’s not so hard to say goodbye
When you can’t see all the lies
But the truth it can be felt
It’s best to be blind
--

Seems if I couldn’t see
It’d be easier to deal with
The cards that were dealt to me
Sometimes I wish I was blind
So I didn’t have to see
The sadness in my mother’s eyes.

-Chorus-
It’s best to be blind
No more reasons to rhyme
Only get the feeling
That my life has so much meaning
I wouldn’t be fooled by
The worlds’ disguise
It’d be best to be blind
--

Seems if I were blind
I would never had know what was taken from me.
People think their blessed to see
It’s all just a curse to me
I’d rather feel the truth and be prepared to die
It’s just like my father said to me
Boy be brave, don’t fear what’s beyond the grave.

-Chorus-
Noooo..!
I wish I couldn’t see
Please take this evil away from me
The worlds fooled me long enough
Its rough and diminished
I can’t believe it hasn’t finished
How can these eyes not
See through the disguise
It’s best to be blind
--
If you saw me on the corner, underneath the city lights
Would you ever talk to me, or would you remain frightened,
Still so scared and out of sight.
What’s a blind man got to hide?
When he can’t see nothing at all
What’s a blind man got to hide?
Could you ever imagine him cry.

--
Nooo!
I wish I couldn’t see
Take this evil away from me
Won’t worry about my Image
Now I can’t see my own opinion of me
My life without these eyes is such a privilege
All this I have God to thank for
Even without my eyes
I can still walk through the door

--
Now let me ask you again
If you ever saw me somewhere
Could a friendship begin?
Don’t need to see your face
Just need to hear your voice and feel your grace

-Chorus-
It’s best to be blind
Wash away these stains of time
No longer can I see
How much longer will I wonder on?
Can’t see the blood soak ground I use to walk upon
Accepting things for what they really are without ever having to see
It’s best to be blind
To me
