Now it's hard to describe
what my life used to be
To someone who's always
been able to see
You know I wasn't unhappy
or bitter that way
But everything's changed
since I met him that
day I was down by the corner
just passin' the
time
Sittin' in the sunlight and
feelin' it shine
When the sounds of a crowd
began to grow in my ear
So I waited and I listened as
I heard them draw near
Then a man stepped up to me
and he spat on the ground
He put the mud on my eyes then
smeared it around
Sent me off to
Siloam to wash off the clay
I opened my eyes and I looked at the day
And I have no idea how he did it
I just know what happened to me
Yesterday I was in darkness
But since I met
Him, I can see
When the
Pharisees heard it
They put me on trial even called in my parents
and grilled them a while and when at the end
I
Defended the man who had opened
my eyes all the trouble began
Because I said ever since
the beginning of time
No one's opened the eyes of someone
born blind this man sent from
God
It just can't be denied and they cursed me
and grabbed me and threw me outside
I really don't know how he found me,
but I know who was talking to me
It was easy to tell by the sound of
his voice that he was the reason I see
And as soon as he spoke to me,
I couldn't hide the emotions that welled up from deep down inside
And combined with the dreams that
He'd made to come true
To kneel there and worship
was all I could do
And I call
Him my
Lord and my
Savior
For everything
He'd done for me
Yesterday I was in darkness
But since I met
Him I can see
And I call
Him my
Lord and
Messiah
For everything
He's done for me
Cause yesterday I was in darkness
But since I met
Him
Since I met
Him
Since I met
Him I can see
Since I met
Him
Since I met
Him
Since I met
Him, I can see
