The blind man in the sun sings the blues
Does not see the joy illumined in our lives
Does not feel the warmth he radiates
A myriad of colors, myriad of hues
Rainbows splashing cross our eyes
He strolls the heavens wearing beggar's shoes.
The blind man in the sun sings the blues
He plays an old guitar with strings of light
Pondering a chord, he moves our lives
Noodles endlessly the thoughts we use
Guiding our electric flight
He leads the way that we would lose.
The blind man in the sun sings the blues
Effortlessly and without recollection
Of past wonders, of past joys
He does not think to read the news
His tears pour down in waterfalls
I wonder, if asked, what he would choose.
The blind man in the sun sings the blues
He dreams us light that we may see
He dreams us love that we may be
He sings his life for us away
That we may recognize ourselves
Walking a conscious moment in his shoes.
