The Blind Man

Paddy Gibney


Pain and lies are intertwined. 
Speak the truth or you'll go blind. 

You look and see With curiosity 
And you marvel at his generosity 
Too much time and little luck 
The blind man has seen enough 

He'll accept your hospitality 
And he'll resurrect your morality 
You will learn how not to grow 
From the blind man 
The smartest man I know 

Ignorance is bliss they say 
Jesus come and save my day 
There's got to be a better way 
To show the blind man how to play 

Please, Please, Please, Please. 
Please accept my apology 
For what the blind man has done to me 

Please don't feel animosity 
Toward the man and his philosophy 
The truth's alive where you can go 
Don't ask the blind man 
A happy man I know, you know 

What he says is never what he does 
And who he is gets inside of us 
He's never left where he's always been 
Yet there's nothing and no one 
The blind man hasn't seen 

Ignorance is bliss today 
He'll never change or have much to say 
There's got to be a better way 
To bring the blind man into play 

Please, Please, Please, Please. 
Please accept my apology 
For what the blind man has done to me 
(Here we go now) 
Please, Please, Please, Please. 
Please accept my apology 
For what the blind man's begrudgery 
Has done to me 

He won't drag me down 
Don't let him drag you down 
I'm not coming down 
For the blind man 
Learn from the blind man 
Open your eyes or say goodbye 
Goodbye.
