1
Dear Mother, said a poor blind boy
2
That little bird sings very long
3
And do you see him in his joy
4
And is he pretty as his song?
5
The mother looked and replied
6
I see that bird on yonder tree
7
The poor boy smiled and softly said
8
Mother I wish that I could see.
9
Yet, I the fragrant flowers can smell
10
And I can feel the green leaves shade
11
And I can hear the notes that swell
12
From those dear birds that God has made.
13
So mother God to me is kind
14
Though sightless he has not given
15
But tell me is there any blind
16
Among the children up in heaven.
17
Blind, oh no, my friend I am not blind
18
My eyes may be closed but I don't mind
19
For I see things far beyond your sight
20
'Cause God gave me a sense to guide me alright.
21
You don't understand
22
How happy I can be
23
Friend life's not made up alone
24
Of what our eyes can see.
25
Why you can see mountains
26
And rivers and trees
27
And you can find beauty in the flowers
28
And the birds and the bees.
29
Why I find a beauty
30
That you'll never know
31
The kind that comes from way inside
32
The kind that comforts so.
33
I've learned to think of everything
34
As beautiful and bright
35
'Cause God gave me that inner sense
36
To take the place of light.
37
Oh nom my darlin', they all see
38
But why ask me, but why ask me you think so odd
39
Why mother, God's so good to me
40
I thought I'd like to look at God.
41
Will be so nice when I can see
42
But mother when you get up there
43
Please tell me, mother, that it's you
44
Because I've never saw you here,
45
He said no more but fondly smiled
46
Until the finale blow was given
47
And God took up that poor blind boy
48
And opened first his eyes in heaven...
