Blind

They’re almost imperceptible;
Go unnoticed every day.
They’re nature’s tiny miracles.
Just look and be amazed.
Weeds with ornate flowers
As beautiful as jewels
Trampled on as we walk
Not watching what we do.

You say there are no miracles
But brothers you are blind.
If you’d just take a look
They’re everywhere to find.
It’s a pity, it’s a pity
That we’re all so blind.

A tiny bird goes unseen
Amid boughs and leaves of trees
With her emerald colored feathers
A work of art to see.
A tapestry of color
Afloat upon the breeze
A butterfly flutters by
That no one seems to see.

You say there are no miracles
But brothers you are blind.
If you’d just take a look
They’re everywhere to find.
It’s a pity, it’s a pity
That we’re all so blind.

A raindrop is a prism
A rainbow to behold.
a leaf that turns in the sun
and changes into gold.
Paintings on a palette
Creations of the lord
Everywhere to be found
To us they go ignored.

You say there are no miracles
But brothers you are blind.
If you’d just take a look
They’re everywhere to find.
It’s a pity, it’s a pity
That we’re all so blind.

HI
I like this. At first I "almost" stumbled when I saw "imperceptible" ... almost LOL .. but, it rolled right off the tongue, it is a fun word to sing.
You paint some really nice pictures with your words. Mother Nature's simple beauty.

Nicely done,
Joanne

Thanks joanne

Really nice idea and lyric. The only thing that pops out to me as perhaps a spot to re-visit would be second verse where you end two lines with the word "see". From a lyrical perspective, I've learned that's generally something you want to avoid if possible.

Apart from that, really good work.!! Would love to hear the finished song some time.

Yep I try to avoid that rhyme too.

I love the premise but I always try to avoid being "preachy".. like.. why can't we all just.. etc etc

You might have more luck if you take one circumstance and build a story around it to keep the listener engaged from one verse to the next.. as in.. "what's gonna happen next".... in the framework it is now, I already know what you are trying to say in the 1st verse, so I really don't need to hear the rest... does that make sense?

Maybe a story about you yourself walked by everyday... and didn't notice... then B happened then C happened.. and I realized D. (?)

Yes I meant it to be as you say preachy.
