[Verse 1] Born without sight, he sat for alms; Disciples asked whose sin had grown. Neither his nor parents' guilt Explained the darkness he had known. Clay was made with dust and spittle, Placed upon the sightless eyes; "Wash in Siloam." He went, And came returning under skies. [Refrain - The Man] One thing I know, Though questions multiply: I was blind, Now I see the sky. One thing I know, Whatever men decree: I was blind, Now I see. [Verse 2] Neighbors doubted he was same man; Parents feared the rulers' ban. Pharisees questioned Sabbath healing, Asked again about the man. "Give God praise; this man is sinful." He replied with sharpened truth: "Never since the world began Have blind-born eyes received such proof." [Bridge] They cast him out for honest witness. The Healer found him afterward. Faith moved farther than the eyesight; He worshipped when the Son was heard. [Final Chorus] I was blind, now I see, Light entered more than eyes in me. Some who claimed the clearest vision Closed themselves deliberately. One thing I know, Though councils disagree: I was blind, Now I see.
