The Old Indian Chief
Tongue with a fork, will never speak true
A bird with one wing will never fly
A knife with no edge will never cut through
Without effort, there is no try.
A one track mind will always think the same way
A man with no love in his heart has no soul
A crooked arrow will always fly the wrong way
Never on target, out of control.
The old Indian Chief was blind and could not hear
But he could tell what was around, dark or light
He could smell death and he knew fear
Sunshine or darkness, to him it was always night.
A wise old man, chief of his kingdom
He knew where everything was, without sight
The tribe followed him because of his wisdom
The blind leading the seeing into the night.
