Youth Speaks alumni Larry Dorsey Jr reminds us that's it's all about perspectives with his piece.
Blind Man Dancing In The Rain
He said you haven't seen life and the man replied let me explain
Although I haven't seen what you've seen I still feel the pain
I feel the sun upon my face and the clouds for the shade
I smell the flowers when they bloom and hear the kids when they play
I laugh at jokes all the time and everyday I pray
I love the taste of home cooking and receive that check when I'm paid
But let me ask you something, have you ever seen a blind man dancing in the rain?
I said I saw a blind man dancing in the rain
Over heard a conversation while I was waiting for the train
I loosened an ear bud so I could listen to this strange
Dialogue between 2 men discussing life and game
They saw difference but I noticed that they were the same
A water drop fell beneath my eyes, it was rain
The precipitation was just perpetuation of the exchange
They continued the discourse, of course in opposite lanes
Both had strong arguments and neither was willing to change
And at that moment is when I saw a blind man dancing in the rain
I said I saw a blind man dancing in the rain
He crossed paths with a stranger & didn't know his name
But knew in his heart that the connection was the ache
That's when the Black man started dancing in the rain
