When I was a child I looked out on a world full of fools
With everyone just living day after day
While somebody else made the rules
But I couldn’t wait for the day
I couldn’t wait for somebody somewhere to say

Here is your life you can make what you want of it
Here are some dreams to put inside your head
Here are some hopes and some fears to get on with
Better beware there’ll be troubles ahead
And I could leave behind
The blind leading the blind

I found the more you live the less you know
The more you try and hold on to
The more you must let go
One small step day by day
Closer yet till you turn to someone and say

Chorus

But clock on the mantlepiece strikes out the hour
Like there’s something important to do
you’re looking for someone to show you the way
But you realise that he is lost too
Take your place in line
With the blind leading the blind

Here is your life you can make what you want of it
Here are some dreams to put inside your head
Here are some hopes and some fears to get on with
Better beware there’ll be troubles ahead
One step at a time
The blind leading the blind
