Legacy

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.
