The roof caved in
And the walls crumbled
And there I stood exposed
Clutching my chest in fear
How'd I end up hereBad decisions
One right after the other
Moved like waves pulled by the moon
Like a puppet who's tugged on by string
Like a water tumbling down stream
I was lostBlind man, deaf boy
And the lover of me
And where did it lead to
I fought for air as I was drowning
In that rushing stream
As the water poured over meOff 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 liesBut You saw me there
In my same condition
Your eyes held me in Your stare
You gazed into my empty soul
Spoke the words that burned a hole
In my heartBlind man, deaf boy
Now see and hear him
Did you think that I'd not find you
Don't you know that I'm the lover of soul
And I came to be near
From this very earth I made youSome of us like sheep have gone astray
Some of us like fools live for today
And then it's gone, and we're left with nothing
We fight to hold it all inside our hands
Somehow we think we'll understand
What no eye has ever seen and no mind comprehendedBlind man, deaf boy
And the lover of me
And where did it lead to
Blind man, deaf boy
Now hear and see him
Did you think that I'd not find youBlind man, deaf boy
Blind man, deaf boy
