If we were all blind
Then we’d each listen
close
Our words would matter
most
If we were all blind
If we were all blind
We’d care less about
things
And the envy that brings
If we were all blind
If we were all blind
We could dance in a brook
And not care how we look
If we were all blind
If we were all blind
We would help each other
Like sister or brother
If we were all blind
If we were all blind
We would sing together
Talk about the weather
If we were all blind
If we were all blind
We would all take our time
There would be much less
crime
If we were all blind
If we were all blind
It would be a nice place
For the whole Human Race
If we were all blind
That was beautiful. Loved the sentiment. I sometimes wish we were all mute.
ReplyDeletewe def. would "see" the world with differently when we were blind and most certainly our priorities would shift as well...and hey...good to see you in the pub eric
ReplyDeletei would hate to be blind...visual creature i am but i def get what you are saying...forcing us to listen, to savor smells, use our other senses...it would def be a different world...good to see you sir
ReplyDeletethe first stanza had me thinking of "blind" as more of a lack of judging--an openness to others thoughts and ideas; almost like being "blind" helps to open ones eyes to what is truly there--what truly matters. it definitely would be an interesting and beautiful place if "blindness" touched everyone.
ReplyDeleteI thought much the same as RMP...blind being a state of mind rather than a physical condition. Interesting thoughts you present here!
ReplyDeleteYes, there is definitely more than one way to be blind.
ReplyDeleteNicely said! I never had to do that "blind for a day/hour" experiment where a friend leads you around, but now I'm thinking it should be a standard part of a child's education! :)
