Daniel Nahmod - Blind for a Day
Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to see
At sunset I'm gone in a reverie
My beautiful bride, my baby's smile
A country road rolling on for miles
But sometimes my eyes discourage instead
Blurring the vision I have in my head
A dream I'm after fades further from view
'Til only the obstacles look true
And lately, I wonder
If I were blind, blind for a day
Where would I go if my heart had its way
Could I see more than the doors that have closed in my face
If I were blind for a day
There's a girl in high school with a heart of gold
Smart as a whip, she's brave, she's bold
But when she looks in the mirror, all she can see is
Heavy and ugly and unworthy
And I can't help but wonder
If she were blind, just for a day
Would she still be cruel to herself that way
Or maybe she'd see there's nothing she needs to change
If she were a blind for a day
How do our eyes deceive us
Where does our vision fail
Whether parent or teacher, policeman or preacher
We'll see what we think we'll see
Believe what we're taught to believe
World on fire, world afraid
So we focus only on enemies made
Colors divide us, holy books too
Political parties, well, what else is new
Still I dare to wonder
If we were blind, just for a day
What kind of world would we create
If behind our disguises we find that we're all the same
If we were blind for a day
I'd like to think things would change
If only the blind would lead the way
