By the World

How Blue Are The Skys? 
I Dare Ask In This Night
As Blue As Your Eyes
I Get As My Reply
How Green Is The Grass Growing Tall?
May I Ask
As Tall As The Robin Resting On The Tree Branch
This Beauty Amazes Me
And Yet None Of It I See
For Blind To All 
As I Am To Thee
Nothing Meets My Eyes
And So Your Words Mean Nothing 
Only Your Description Of The Skys
For Not Always Was I Blind
Only When I Tried To Hide
But Finally I Can See
And It Amazes Me
That Everything Can Fall To Peace
In Just A Moment Of This World
Where I Can Truly See
I Throw My Head Back
And Watch As The Sky Laughs
Turning From The Color Of My Eyes
To The Color Of My Life
Black
-->Black
---->Black
-Blind Again
In Just A Moments Rest
Once I Could See
Until I Hid
Taking Beauty For All
Taken For Granted
Again I Could See
But Undeserving I Was
So Blind Again
I Was Made By The World
