They say you are foolish For wanting the sun. Say you are selfish For learning to run. They tell you that the darkness Is a blessing in disguise For you never have to notice If you're sighted or you're blind And they'll do their best to keep you from the light.

For wanting the sun.

If you're sighted or you're blind
And they'll do their best to keep you from the light.
--"From Me to You," Janis Ian
