I was born in a world of darkness
were everything was hard to find
had to feel my way around
as I was completely blind

Ain't no doctor who can help me out
is about the only thing that's plain to see
was left alone to fend for myself
without any company

I was given a long white stick
around the age of five
was so people could notice who I was
they told me it would be my guide

My parents never helped me out
they never had any sympathy
they disowned me as a child
and never took any pity on me

(Chorus)
Stone Blind
darkness surrounding me
Stone Blind
is the label they've given me
Stone Blind
in a world of misery
Stone Blind
with only blackness for company

I soon learned to make use of my other senses
in order to survive
sound and touch became my vision
by the time I was twenty five

There was not that many people in this world
that ever had any time for me
they never noticed I was here
they never said anything to me

(Chorus)
Stone Blind
living in a world that's hard to see
Stone Blind
in a world of misery
Stone Blind
there is no sympathy
Stone Blind
with only blackness for company

Ooh it's this pitch black darkness
that's got its hold on me
Oh and this world of madness
that's really killing me

Cause in this world of darkness
that's got it's claws in me...
no light can break through and shine
enough for me to see...

(Break)

(Chorus)
Stone Blind
darkness surrounding me
Stone Blind
living in a world of misery
Stone Blind
is the label they've given me
Stone Blind
with only blackness for company
