Album: Great Lengths

Blind Man, Deaf Boy

The roof caved in
and the walls crumbled
and there i stood exposed
clutching my chest in fear
how'd i end up here
bad decisions
one right after the other
moved like waves pulled by the moon
like a puppet who's tugged on by string
like water tumbling down stream
i was lost
Chorus A
blind man, deaf boy
and the Lover of me
and were did it lead to
i fought for air as i was drowning
in that rushing stream
as the water poured over me
off the bridge i threw my heart
as if it didn't matter
i walked the edge so fearlessly
blindfolded by my lustful eyes
deafened by a string of lies
but You saw me there
in my same condition
Your eyes held me in Your stare
You gazed into my empty soul
spoke the words the burned a hole
in my heart
Chorus B
blind man, deaf boy
now see and hear
did you think that I'd not find you
don't you know that I'm the lover souls
and I came to be near
from this very earth I made you
some of us like sheep have gone astray
some of us like fools live for today
and then it's gone
and you're left with nothing
you fight to hold it all inside your hands
somehow we think we'll understand
what no eye has ever seen and no mind comprehended
Chorus B
