There I am again
Lost in the swarm of people
Stumbling in the pouring rain
The only shelter I see is a temple
I deny it, I deny it once more
For while I can't see,
I'd never go back there
It pained me
Dark in the dungeons
Once more I cry
Why was I born blind
Born ever so shy
For one could not understand the blind man's burden
Without living it, you can't
You can never imagine
How they feel when they want
And yet they cannot receive
How to persist in a world of greed
They still cannot perceive
They cannot cater to their every need
One should think that you'd understand the blind man's burden
And yet to us it is like a closed curtain
When you see one without the gift of sight,
Do not walk away, sympathize with their plight
For in a world like this
One will need friends to light the way
Pave a path through the mist
Help those unable to see the light of day
We help, we share, we offer
It's what little we can do
For when they come to you
They will say all that's true
I think the blind are more honest than we
Even though we are the privileged
For those with less respect what's more
They never resent what's theirs
Sometimes I think the underprivileged
Can see the world in a different light
When all we think is money,
They see far past that fight
The shames of the world bring sorrow,
Yet sparking, there is always fire
Burning through tomorrow
Solving all that's dire
Trusting in the blind man's burden
We know they're more capable than us
While we feel heavy laden
They know what's truly dust
They know how it feels to be at the bottom
They know what it's like to be without a home
For because if their simple problems,
They are called by men a disgrace
Dark in the ditches,
If we see them smile,
Smile back
Do not ignore
For those with less know what is more
And all we do is hoard
We take what we don't need,
We take even the tiniest seed
For mankind's greed knows no limits,
Even when thrown in the darkest of pits,
We aren't grateful for the few drops of rainwater
We proceed with the slaughter
Sometimes I wish I was blind
So still I can hide behind
Curtains of darkness that prevent me
From seeing what the world has become
