A blind man once told me, son do you see The distant waters fall and fall as far as the eye can see? Oh, I answered calmly, what do you mean? There's nothing here but rocks and dirt The earth that's under me I said just to look at it all in just one way There's a million ways to turn the darkness into day You don't need eyes to hear the seas You can do most anything, oh, you must just believe Oh, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I Oh, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I And it's been almost four years since he told me And I've tried and tried but sunlight kept eluding me And I figured that he didn't mean me But I kept in faith that someday I might still believe Oh, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I Oh, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I Oh, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I Oh, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I So I close my eyes just one more time And I try to picture paradise I left behind And then one by one, it came to be And the moment I heard trees I knew I'd just been a leaf Oh, I am higher, higher Oh-oh-oh-oh, higher, higher Oh, I am higher, higher Oh-oh-oh-oh, higher, higher Sometimes I look and add it all, add it just one way There's a million ways to turn the darkness into day And I don't need eyes to hear the seas Oh, I can be almost anything if I believe Do anything I wanna know, I just can't to believe Do anything I wanna know, I just can't to believe
