Others walk in the light

<i>Others walk in the light

but I cannot see it

others hear music

but I cannot hear it

I have seen and been made blind

I have heard and been made deaf and mute

I have seen and been made blind

I have heard and been made deaf and mute

Others walk in the sun

but I am a shadow

others delight in conversation

but I am silent

I have seen and been made blind

I have heard and been made deaf and mute

I have seen and been made blind

I have heard and been made deaf and mute

Others welcome the morning

I awake in trepidation

others hear the birds sing

I sit and brood on my suffering

I have seen and been made blind

I have heard and been made deaf and mute

I have seen and been made blind

I have heard and been made deaf and mute</i>
