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