lyrics

I was sitting in the classroom holding a book
I really wanted to read but I was afraid to take a look
Cause every word was bumping into the next one
It was blurry as could be
I felt like something was wrong
Something was wrong with me
What it was… I just couldn’t see

I knew all of the letters, I knew all of their sounds
I knew some words but they never looked right when reading time came round'
So last Tuesday after school after I wrote my spelling list
Dad took me to a doctor
She’s called the Optometrist

There was a puff of air in each eye
A bright light moving side to side
A big metal contraption swung in front of me
She said option A or option B
Or was C, D, E, F or G?

And magically…

CHORUS: I could see everything in front of me
I could see far away so clearly

So i got fitted with some glasses
I was a spectacle for sure
I didn’t just have two eyes
I had the power of four
Yeah was it was just like a bit of magic
When I picked up the book again
I saw what I was missing
And read all the way to the very end

What it was, quite visibly was...

CHORUS, In high fidelity!
