HALF BLIND   BY JOHN FLYNN

I HAVE NOT COME TO SAVE YOU
FOR WHEN I LOOK AT YOU
I DO NOT SEE A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS
I HAVE NOT COME TO CHANGE YOU
YOUR DESPERADO SOUL
IS PERFECT AS IT IS THOUGH I CONFESS

YOU SAY I’M A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES
BUT I THINK YOU AND ME ARE BOTH HALF BLIND
YOU CAN’T SEE THE BEAUTY THAT’S INSIDE YOU
I CAN’T SEE QUITTING ON A FRIEND OF MINE

I HAVE NOT COME TO HEAL YOU
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE CURED
THE SCARS WE BEAR ARE HOLIER THAN SHRINES
IF TEARS CAN TEACH OUR EYES TO
SEE WITH TENDERNESS
THE WOUNDS THAT WE’VE BEEN TEMPTED TO DESPISE

YOU SAY I’M A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES
BUT I THINK YOU AND ME ARE BOTH HALF BLIND
YOU CAN’T SEE THE BEAUTY THAT’S INSIDE YOU
I CAN’T SEE QUITTING ON A FRIEND OF MINE

MAYBE LOVE IS NOTHING BUT A MIRROR
ONE THAT SHOWS YOU WHO YOU REALLY ARE
MAYBE MINE CAN HELP YOU TO SEE CLEARER
SOMEONE YOU'VE BEEN A STRANGER TO SO FAR

I HAVE NOT COME TO FIX YOU
FOR I KNOW DEEP INSIDE
YOU’RE NOT AND NEVER HAVE BEEN POWERLESS
BUT I WILL SHARE THE DARKNESS
THAT YOU ARE WALKING THROUGH
UNTIL YOU FIND THE LIGHT THAT YOU POSSESS

YOU SAY I’M A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES
BUT I THINK YOU AND ME ARE BOTH HALF BLIND
YOU CAN’T SEE THE BEAUTY THAT’S INSIDE YOU
I CAN’T SEE QUITTING ON A FRIEND OF MINE
NO I AIN'T QUITTING ON A FRIEND OF MINE
