I was a man who was blind as a bat at noon
Couldn’t “see” anything because of my handicap
Then I was lead by a spirit greater than mine
From dark to light, it took me;
Without sight, it led me
Through the wickedness and wildness of the world—
Stumbling every step of the way
But never once fell on my face
Adding fuel to the fire of my soul
That brought forth the light in my eye
For I was blind, now I can see
When I walk, I don’t stumble
And if I stumble, I don’t fall—
I can run with the wind
I’m free as a breeze
The spirit is with me
Now you know my legacy.
