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.
