MANY DEGREES OF SIGHT

There are many degrees of sight
And many degrees of blindness
Many degrees of sight
And many degrees of blindness
What senses do we lack
That we cannot see
Another world all around us
Muad'dib could indeed see the future
But you must understand
The limits of this power
Think of sight
You have eyes
But you cannot see without light
If you are on the floor of a valley
You cannot see beyond the valley
Just so, Muad'dib could not always choose
To look across the mysterious terrain

[Chorus]
There are many degrees of sight
And many degrees of blindness
Many degrees of sight
And many degrees of blindness
What senses do we lack
That we cannot see
Another world
All around us

Muad'dib could indeed see the future
But you must understand
The limits of this power
He tells us that
A single obscure decision of prophecy
Perhaps the choice of one word over another
Could change the entire aspect
Of the future
(Of the future)
He tells us the vision of time is broad
But when you pass through it
Time becomes a narrow door

[Chorus]
There are many degrees of sight
And many degrees of blindness
Many degrees of sight
And many degrees of blindness
What senses do we lack that we cannot see
Another world
All around us

And always
He fought the temptation
To choose a clear
Safe course
Warning that path leads ever down
Into stagnation
