Because a glimpse of the world, Cease to exist as I sit in despair, The contrast of a disability, Is how I stay aware. I may not see the bright blue skies, Or the glowing stars that shines at night, I still hear the rain as it claps on the ground, And the voice of a man singing in delight. Like water shall fall as if I were a cascade, I may not see where I set foot, But I can touch the stones called walls, The softness of my shoes that helps me stay put. I may not see the colour of your lips, As some would say pink or close to wine, But I do not care, As I feel love when our lips sync and arms intertwine. I am not a blind man, But if I could walk a mile, The land discovered shall be cherished, Shall it be a journey worthwhile.

In A Blind Man's Shoes
Because a glimpse of the world, Cease to exist as I sit in despair, The contrast of a disability, Is how I stay aware. I may not see the bright blue skies, Or the glowing stars that shines at night, I still hear the rain as it claps on the ground, And the voice of a man singing in delight. Like water shall fall as if I were a cascade, I may not see where I set foot, But I can touch the stones called walls, The softness of my shoes that helps me stay put. I may not see the colour of your lips, As some would say pink or close to wine, But I do not care, As I feel love when our lips sync and arms intertwine. I am not a blind man, But if I could walk a mile, The land discovered shall be cherished, Shall it be a journey worthwhile.
