If I were lonely and I were blind Where, oh, where would I go to find life? Would I say "David's Son, would you be so kind To spit in some mud and put it in my eyes?" 'Cause in this world of good intentions That pave the road to, no, I won't mention where I need to take my fears and bleed them dry 'Cause I can't see clearly when I try to care How can I climb Your ladder up When Your blood's still in the cup? How can I love my neighbor home When I'm still so blind and alone? In this world far from disaster-free Full of our man-made catastrophes, we're here Searching for the joy found in the pain This little boy has gone insane searching Now at 1 a.m. on a freezer door This artist sits where he's sat before, trying Trying to write a song about Sorting all our problems out when he's part of them How can he climb Your ladder up When Your blood's still in the cup? How can he love his neighbor home When he's still so blind and alone? In this world of good intentions That pave the road to, no, I won't mention where I pray "Jesus, would you be so kind To spit in some mud and put it in my eyes" 'Cause I can't climb Your ladder up If I don't drink what's in the cup And I can't love my neighbor home If I'm still so blind and alone Which I am, I'm blind and alone
