The Cost of Perfume
Blind
I saw a blind man
Walking with his cane
Tap tap tap and then
He started singing in a voice that was rather plain
He started smiling too
As he belted out the song
It was kinda bouncy like a kangaroo
Its verses and chorus neither very long
The day was warm and muggy
The people around not happy
Most grumbling and being sassy
But this blind man he was having a day
I followed him for a bit
He stopped at the old Catholic Church
maybe he just needed a sit
So I followed and took up a perch
Inside the man stopped singing
Instead he began crying
Praying and releasing
I caught a bit of what he was saying
He was thanking the Lord Jesus
Because Jesus had allowed him to see
Mind you not like us
His vision was beyond the land and sea
I started feeling my eyes well up and I cried
For my gut it suddenly did not feel right
And it was then I realized
That every single one of us was blind to the True Light
Amen
