Blind man ***** goes walking down the street
Nobody talks to him with his cane tapping
he just walks alone
Heart attack at age 28
carrying 400 pounds, dead weight
after awhile his wife said goodbye
he still wears the ring and cries
Two girls, aged 13 & 11
he tries to warn them about the ways of the world but,
babies havin' babies
signs of the end times
***** is blind, but still can see
the colors of this violent world
we're not sure if its history on repeat
or the nature of the news
People walk around ***** all the same
never asking his name
never talking about the weather
That's okay, they don't ask mine neither
that's why we walk together
The man went blind but now can see
he thanks God that let it be
Amazin' Grace, give strength to thee
