The Gift Lyrics

He sat there all alone

Few if any knew his name

An old man without his vision

So you turn your head in shame

Living in a world invisible to me

Where most of us, at best, can only wish to be

You need more than eyes to see

You need more than ears to hear

When you live your life truth

The world becomes so clear

As you start your life again

There's a lesson you will find

Sometimes the gift of sight

Is a curse that makes you blind

He kept a holy book

Carried closely at his side

He silently and sightless

Scanned the pages in his mind

The mysteries and memories

Of long gone yesterdays

Now solved and reunited

In another way

You need more than eyes to see

You need more than ears to hear

When you live your life truth

The world becomes so clear

As you start your life again

There's a lesson you will find

Sometimes the gift of sight

Is a curse that makes you blind

His is the name we gave you

A badge to wear it with pride Inspiration from inside

As the angel flies with perfect eyes

He sees your life and joy

You need more than eyes to see

You need more than ears to hear

When you live your life truth

The world becomes so clear

As you start your life again

There's a lesson you will find

Sometimes the gift of sight

Is a curse that makes you blind
