Blind Eyez
What would you do if I was blind?
And couldn't see things from behind
What if I knew what was running through
your mind?
God won't let me see through my blind eyez
He won't let me see the blue or darkened
skies
What if I was leading you with lies?
There's black people, white people all
around the world
Through my blind eyez, I see a cute little
boy and a cute little girl
What if I was leading traffic with my blind
eyez?
Can't nobody stop me even in disguise
Through my eyez, I've been through thick
and thin
I just want to thank God for guiding me
through the light
Now I can see through my blind eyez
