Bereft Of Sky

No one wants to believe that when you can't see

Your eyes are in your hands

With closed eyelids, heart's in your ear

No one wants to believe disability

Deepens your senses when you're deaf or blind

You only descry what you feel inside

Hearing a voice without a face

Or seeing light without sound

Hating silence when you're voiceless

Unable to cry around

No one knows why my life can be so unfair

I'm trying to know but no one never seems to care

No one knows but I can find the reason why

Here some of them know

why I have got to live bereft of sky

No one wants to believe that when you can't hear

The move of the lips is a real guide

You can even feel the rhythm of love

So I want to believe if I had the choice

I'd rather be dead than deaf

If I had the choice I will keep my voice

I'd rather be dead than deaf

But what's the worse I can't tell

Anyway if I were blind I'd still write and sing

With my hands I'd touch the essential

And know what the word listen means

And love eyes closed
