We are born blind
until our parents
open our eyes
to the beauty of life

Then we leave home blind
until we find someone
who can reopen our eyes
to the beauty of life

So it is completely possible
to live this life blind
to the beauty of life
And it's quite possible
to forget the job you have
and allow others around you
to remain blind
