I think you are my only friend
When I think about this life
I think this is my only life
When I think about this world
I think this is my only world
We grew up in a southern town
What was up was really down
What I found was really found
I think about when I was born
How she lost her eyes to see
They were praying hard for me
And I was born into believe
Oh but I do and I believe
That she was holding on for me
Have you lost your eyes to see
Or have you found the garden tree
Well if I stayed within your tree
Do these good times ever end
When you're living in this town
That's why I tried to move away
You don't know what you have found
Until you find what you have known
I see your colors and they glow
I see your colors and I know
I just want to stand close
Shine a little more my way
I'm growing older every day
And I can't say what I should say
I can't mean what I should mean
What I mean to say I cannot
But I'm going to try it anyway
Maybe I was born not to see
And my mother lost her eyes for me
And yes you love what I will be
I know not what I will be
But I love what I can't see
And if it all just goes away
Or if it all decides to stay
And I believe you are my friend
I take each day as it will end
