lyrics

I saw a girl lead a blind man by the hand
In Florida on her way to Disney Land
The man’s face was curled like darkness in a ball
And this is the story as far as I recall
The girl was born no more than 7 years before
An English rose with her petals barely formed
From her mother came an inner strength and pride
That this little girl wore with every stride, she said

Hold my hand, and close your eyes
I’ll lead the way oh I will be your guide
Through the darkness of the night we will find
Each others love and the meaning of the light

I saw a girl lead a blind man by the hand
In Florida on my way to Dixie Land
Her mum and dad made love in a field of golden rye
Nine months passed and in childbirth the mother died
Dad held baby against a moon silver sky
Knowing he’d never see a look from those riven blue eyes, he said

Hold my hand, and close your eyes
I’ll lead the way oh I will be your guide
Through the darkness of the night we will find
Each others love and the meaning of the light

I saw a girl lead a blind man by the hand
In Florida on her way to Disney Land
She watched me run my fingers on the board
Down the frets of this old worn guitar
Then she suddenly stopped and raised an arm
She gave me thumbs up and a smile that broke my heart, I sang

Hold my hand, and close your eyes
I’ll lead the way oh I will be your guide
Through the darkness of the night we will find
Each others love and the meaning of the light
