I’ve walked through fire and darkness, seen the worst that life can give

Lost the ones I loved the most, somehow, I learned to live

I carried heavy burdens that would break most any man

But tonight, the tears are falling and I don’t know who I am

The world has seen me standing tall through every kind of hell

But even iron bends sometimes, and even strong men fell

The river flows forever, it never stops its bend

And what we hold is never quite the thing we thought we’d win

When a blind man cries the whole world stops to hear

The pain he buried deep comes flooding crystal clear

When a blind man cries the iron starts to bend

You’re never more alone than when your heart breaks in the end

When a blind man cries the heavens hold their breath

There’s no disguise for death when the strongest hearts confess

When a blind man cries the truth comes rushing in

Even the strong break down when the tears begin

When a blind man cries

When a blind man cries

They say a man should never show the weakness in his soul

But some nights the weight gets heavy and it takes its heavy toll

I’ve smiled through broken promises and laughed through bitter tears

But tonight, the dam is breaking after all these years

The mirror shows a stranger where a proud man used to stand

I’m reaching for forgiveness with these trembling, empty hands

When someone finds me breathing with the light upon my face

I’ll thank the Lord for mercy and for this moment of His grace

When a blind man cries the whole world stops to hear

The pain he buried deep comes flooding crystal clear

When a blind man cries the iron starts to bend

You’re never more alone than when your heart breaks in the end

When a blind man cries the heavens hold their breath

There’s no disguise for death when the strongest hearts confess

When a blind man cries the truth comes rushing in

Even the strong break down when the tears begin

When a blind man cries…

When a blind man cries…
