Lyrics
BLIND MAN
By Randy Bishop (ASCAP) & David Wright, Copyright 2005
Hey blind man, you think you can, see the world as it truly is
But, oh no no, you can't judge a soul by the things that he says are his
Now, that new car, it'll take you far, and get you there in style and class
But, it will soon rust, and turn to dust, all earthly things must pass
Chorus:
He's a blind man, who thinks he can see
He's a blind man, but he's not foolin' me
Looking down on us, from his towers of ivory
Yeah, he's a blind man, who thinks he can see
Such a blind man, but he's not foolin' me
No, he can't see the forest, for lookin' at the trees
You say you care, but you don't share with the poor man on the street
You walk on by, with blinded eyes, as he begs for a bite to eat
It's his weak will that creates his ills, simply nothing you can do
So, you pass on by, in your suit and tie, and your five hundred dollar shoes
Bridge:
Blinded man you need to open your eyes, the ones in your heart I mean
Reach out to the Lord, and He'll show you things, things that you've never seen
He can raise the dead, He can part the sea
He can give you sight, yeah, He did it for me
Final Chorus:
Cause you're a blind man, who thinks he can see
Such a blind man, with his head in the trees
Lookin' down on us, from your towers of ivory
Yeah, you're a blind man, who thinks he can see
But, you're foolin' yourself, while you try to fool me
Cause, you're just another blind man...pretending to see
