[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I’ve walked through fire and darkness, seen the worst that life can give
Lost the ones I loved the most, somehow, I learned to live
I carried heavy burdens that would break most any man
But tonight, the tears are falling and I don’t know who I am
The world has seen me standing tall through every kind of hell
But even iron bends sometimes, and even strong men fell

The river flows forever, it never stops its bend
And what we hold is never quite the thing we thought we’d win

[Chorus]
When a blind man cries the whole world stops to hear
The pain he buried deep comes flooding crystal clear
When a blind man cries the iron starts to bend
You’re never more alone than when your heart breaks in the end
When a blind man cries the heavens hold their breath
There’s no disguise for death when the strongest hearts confess
When a blind man cries the truth comes rushing in
Even the strong break down when the tears begin
When a blind man cries
When a blind man cries

[Verse 2]
They say a man should never show the weakness in his soul
But some nights the weight gets heavy and it takes its heavy toll
I’ve smiled through broken promises and laughed through bitter tears
But tonight, the dam is breaking after all these years
The mirror shows a stranger where a proud man used to stand
I’m reaching for forgiveness with these trembling, empty hands

When someone finds me breathing with the light upon my face
I’ll thank the Lord for mercy and for this moment of His grace

[Final Chorus]
When a blind man cries the whole world stops to hear
The pain he buried deep comes flooding crystal clear
When a blind man cries the iron starts to bend
You’re never more alone than when your heart breaks in the end
When a blind man cries the heavens hold their breath
There’s no disguise for death when the strongest hearts confess
When a blind man cries the truth comes rushing in
Even the strong break down when the tears begin

[Outro]
When a blind man cries…
When a blind man cries…
