I have a jem It sparkles in the sunlight inside of me and blinds the eyes of those who dare to challenge the brightness of my jem It impresses people everywhere leaving them in awe and amazement I have no need to flaunt or praise myself for it is done constantly for me Despite the obvious that exists in me To some, it cannot be seen No matter how bright my jem sparkles Only one person is blind To my shine Who would have imagined that Out of all those who were incapable of seeing It would have been someone so close Closer than anyone else who was blind Oh father, when will your eyes clear And un-blur from the barriers of our differences When, just when will you see with clarity The talent I possess

Blind to the Obvious
I have a jem It sparkles in the sunlight inside of me and blinds the eyes of those who dare to challenge the brightness of my jem It impresses people everywhere leaving them in awe and amazement I have no need to flaunt or praise myself for it is done constantly for me Despite the obvious that exists in me To some, it cannot be seen No matter how bright my jem sparkles Only one person is blind To my shine Who would have imagined that Out of all those who were incapable of seeing It would have been someone so close Closer than anyone else who was blind Oh father, when will your eyes clear And un-blur from the barriers of our differences When, just when will you see with clarity The talent I possess
