Daniel Lemma - Must've Been Blind lyrics

When I was a young boy Sought the pleasures, sought the pleasures of a young man's mind Oh the shimmer, oh the shimmer at the foot of the rainbow Sent me off on a perpetual quest and distorted my sight A young man is like a bu*terfly Restless and frail he flies To see him parry every thrust of wind Brings a twinkle in the old man's eye I must've been blind I must've been blind It was right there in front of my eyes It was right there in front of my eyes All my running It was right there in front of my eyes Then I came to know the scriptures With zeal and fervour I reconstructed my life Ancient truths carved in stone now lined my path But the thought of the treasure hadn't quite slipped my mind Religious man is like a mountain brook Frozen underneath the snow It's frisky leaps halted Until springtime brings the thaw I must've been blind... And in the descending twilight As you're summoning up your mind Trace your footsteps in the sand And maybe you will find That with every road you took Whichever way you looked What destination became your choice What opinion you came to voice It was right there It was right there all the time
