Verse 1:
In a world awash with light, where shadows play at night,
We walk with open eyes, yet miss the stars so bright.
Surrounded by the tales, of dreams that sail the seas,
We're blinded by our sails, lost in the gentle breeze.

Chorus:
Why did we become blind, a question, ages old,
In search of answers, in the stories untold.
"I think we are blind, blind but seeing," you say,
Blind people who can see, yet choose to look away.

Verse 2:
The beauty of the rose, the whisper of the rain,
Are lost upon those, who see but can't explain.
The essence of a smile, the warmth in a friend's touch,
Invisible miles, that mean so much.

Chorus:
Why did we become blind, a question, ages old,
In search of answers, in the stories untold.
"I think we are blind, blind but seeing," you say,
Blind people who can see, yet choose to look away.

Bridge:
Perhaps, one day we'll find, the sight within our mind,
To see beyond the blind, the beauty that's entwined.
Not with our eyes, but heart, we'll see the world anew,
A canvas to impart, with colors bright and true.

Verse 3:
So, let us open wide, the windows of our soul,
And see the world outside, as a part of the whole.
For we are not blind, if truly we seek,
To see with love and kindness, to help the weak.

Chorus/Outro:
"Why did we become blind?" no longer will we ask,
For in our hearts, we hold, the key to every task.
"I know we can see, see and truly find,"
Blind people who can see, when we do not mind.
