[Verse 1]

Now some of us are weak

And some endure

And some people live their life

With a violence that’s pure and clean

But I saw a man cry once

Down on his knees

In the corner of a darkened cell

And his pain meant nothing to me

[Chorus 1]

But I was younger then

And young men never die

When I walked out in the sun

I was strong, clear-minded and blind

[Verse 2]

Now don’t say a prayer for anyone

It doesn’t do any good

Please don’t ask me a question

You'll just be misunderstood

And if you could step inside me

You'd feel what hatred brings

And if you saw with my eyes

You'd see what self-deception means

[Chorus 2]

I was younger once

And I created a lie

And though my body was strong

I was self-deluded, confident and blind

[Verse 3]

Now show some pity

For the weak of will

Because when we’re drinking

We can never be filled

Show some understanding

For the lonely fool

Because when I’m drinking

I am out of control

[Chorus 3]

I was never young

Nothing has transpired

But when I look in the mirror

I feel dead, I feel cold, I am blind

[Outro]

I am blind, mmm

I am blind, mmm

I am blind, mmm

Mmm
