If The World Were Blind

-----------------------------------------------

  If the world was blind,

            maybe then we'd see

            the true side of beauty,

            deep within you and me.

-----------------------------------------------

  No one could judge us

            by our outer looks,

            like the fancy covers

            on expensive books.

-----------------------------------------------

  We'd see with our hearts,

            and not just our eyes,

            and what we discover

            might be a surprise.

-----------------------------------------------

There would be no need

            to try to impress,

            with the way we look,

            or the way that we dress.

-----------------------------------------------

The only thing that would matter

            is the way we would feel,

            not phoney or cheap,

            but truthful and real.
