Blind Man

 

INTRO

Last night I watched a blind man juggle fire… 

 

VERSE

Must have known what I was thinkin’

‘Cause he looked my way and grinned 

Said “Don’t know where fire’s going,

But I know where fire’s been”

 

VERSE

Had feather tattoos on his arms

Like a shaman guru guy

Braiding his cotton candy beard

He asked “Ever seen a blind man fly?”

 

CHORUS

Then he said…  

Bein’ blind, don’t mean I’m deaf 

Bein’ blind, don’t mean I’m dumb

Bein’ blind, don’t mean that I don’t know

Don’t mean I can’t see your soul

 

VERSE

He took out a pad sketched my face;

The fear etched in my skin

Said, “Can’t see where you’re going

But I know where you been”

 

CHORUS

 

BRIDGE

Thought about my life

Things I never did 

If a blind man can juggle fire

It’s time I learned to live 

 

CHORUS

‘Cause…

Bein’ blind, don’t mean you’re deaf

Bein’ blind, don’t mean you’re dumb

Bein’ blind, don’t mean that you don’t know

Don’t mean you can’t see your soul
