Mumford & Sons - Blind Leading The Blind Lyrics

Mumford & Sons Lyrics

"Blind Leading The Blind"

My generation's stuck in the mirror
Forget about the poor 'cause I don't like the word
And I need to know the name of my neighbor
I am not known if I'm not seen or heard
And I am afraid of that which I do not know
So why don't I just ask your fucking name
Justice just gets buried in a white light
I heard there was a time we'd call it shame

So put your hands in mine tonight
And I will be here
When you're crying out tonight
I will be here

Your cynicism buys me no more time here
Imagine my relief to hit the walls
Running from the weight of ancient labels
Believing what identity there was
Well my generation's stuck in the mirror
Forget about the poor 'cause I don't like the word
And I need to know the name of my neighbor
I am not known if I'm not seen or heard

So put your hands in mine tonight
And I will be here
When you're crying out tonight
I will be here

Let's raise our hands for a moment
And leave it all behind
Don't be afraid for a moment
The blind leading the blind

So put your hands in mine tonight
I will be here
And when you're crying out tonight
I will be here

"Blind Leading The Blind" was premiered on October 23, 2019, it is the band's first new material since the release of their 2018 album "Delta".

"This has been a song we've had up our sleeves for some time, which ended up being a catalytic song for much of our work on 'Delta', its themes and feelings, but that we never got round to finishing in time to put it on the original release," frontman Marcus Mumford said of the track.
