From womb to tomb I am condemned to be
completely blind and unable to see.
I have never, ever seen the light of day
and have to use a stick to find my way.

Never to see the glory of the setting sun,
or to gaze into the eyes of anyone.
Blind, I entered into this earthly scene.
Blind, I shall depart, never to have seen.

I hear the sounds of the wind and sea,
but walk in darkness because I can’t see?.
I sit and beg as all the people walk on by
Oh, what I’d give for just one seeing eye!

Then, 'Lord who did wrong,' someone said,
'Was it this man or his parents instead? '
'No one had sinned' I heard the Man say.
'For you will see the glory of God today.'

Just there as we stood to my great surprise
He made some mud and put it on my eyes.
And as I washed my eyes I received my sight
and for the very first time could see daylight.

Saw men and animals, trees and the sky
and watched all the people walking by.
My eyes were opened and I saw God’s Son
as I looked upon Jesus Christ the Holy One
