IF ALL THE WORLD WERE BLIND

 

If All The World Were Blind

If all the world were blind,

How would you make yourself be seen?

Would you shine your light so brightly,

Or try to rule like a queen?

Of all the things to ponder,

I think that’s what matters most.

Would you proudly stand up for others,

Or choose to fade out like a ghost?

Would you live life to the fullest,

Or just be an empty shell?

Would your scent be intoxicating,

Or in fact, would it repel?

Would your words be kind and honest,

Or sharpened like a knife?

Would you save someone who’s drowning,

Or let them forfeit their own life?

Would you choose the path that’s easy,

Or the one that asks for more?

Would you open up your heart,

Or keep it locked behind a door?

When no one’s watching closely,

No applause. No guiding sign.

Would you choose to be the healing light,

Or walk the straight and narrow line?

Because sight was never vision,

And crowns don’t make you seen.

It’s in the way that you treat others,

That truly proves that you’re a queen.
