Growing up Blind Lyrics







[Verse 1]

The sun goes down in Tinseltown

Lights light the hype and the human debris

The gazes that guide these half-a-million eyes

Can't seem to make them want to see



[Chorus]

Growing up blind, growing up blind

Hearts in the darkness killing time

Growing up blind, growing up blind

How does it feel to be growing up blind



[Verse 2]

The images form like a gathering storm

And ruin rains down on unfortunate souls

In the haste of the day we look the other way

And cast our eyes on things more pleasant to behold



[Chorus]

Growing up blind, growing up blind

Hearts in the darkness killing time

Growing up blind, growing up blind

How does it feel to be growing up blind



[Instrumental break]



[Verse 3]

So we forsake this festering waste

And all of the wounds that we've seen bleed

In the name of the One who says that what we've done

Is turn our backs on Him in leaving the least of these



[Chorus - Outro]

Growing up blind, growing up blind

How does it feel to be growing up blind

Oh growing up blind

Growing up blind

Oh oh

Oh blind

Growing up blind

Oh oh growing up blind

Oh oh oh growing, growing, growing

Growing up blind...
