Plant A Tree Poetry Poet Lyric

Blind Man Running By the Light of the Night

There's only one way down a dead-end road 
Drug dealers don't make good friends 
Spend your whole life chasing your nose 
Just sniffing in the Wind 
I met my guardian guardrail 
Smoking angel dust all day 
I'm glad they were there to grab me 
Because I thought I could fly away

And I'll fly away
Flew away
Just flied away

I found the blind man running 
By the light of the night 
He had the answer in his hand
I read what it said aloud
"Your God's your only friend" 
His smile must have been 
Stretching from ear-to-ear 
"By God" said the blind man 
"Thats what I thought I'd hear"
If he only knew how scared I was 
I would shed a tear 
That's when he said "I may be blind
But I can see your fear"

And I'll cry away
Cry away
Just cried away

I've been climbing the cliffs of life 
Grass blade by blade 
But I keep on slipping on 
Mistakes I've made 
With an outstretched arm 
I yelled for you 
To help emerging me from it all 
But your little white nose lies 
Just drounded out my calls 
My whole life flashed in front of my eyes 
During that fatal fall 
You were the last clump of grass I grabbed 
But you had no roots at all

And I'll fall away
Fall away
Just fell away

Cry away

I'll fly away
