Said a deaf man once to the blind
I can’t hear so well speak up
Said the blind man back very well
I can’t see so good myself
Yes I see you’re not perfect man
That is not what I most need
I got this alarm clock tells perfect time
I need someone to hear it ring

In the dark
In the dark

Blind man thought about that for a while
Saying what is it that I most need?
I might enjoy weekends by the shore
But what I need is what needs me
Thus he did reply with these words
Rest assured I’ll hear it ring
And if your time should come before that hour
Part not with a veil of greed

In the dark
In the dark

Deaf man understood not a word
But he saw the blind agreed
He set his clock upon solid ground
Then he laid his head upon his knee
Thus the day did pass into night
And the night did bear a dream
Why are we afraid in the dark?
Fear is what we sow and reap

In the dark
In the dark
